## Colocation lease rates in Chennai

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

Atria Convergence Technologies leads with four facilities, followed by STT GDC and Digital Realty at three each, and AdaniConneX with two. The market's four-operator concentration reflects a maturing but still fragmented supply base relative to India's larger metros.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects structural power supply challenges that will constrain new capacity additions. Together, these metrics indicate that sourcing reliable, dedicated power for incremental MW capacity will require either long-lead infrastructure buildouts or creative offtake arrangements outside conventional utility channels.

Recent announced projects underscore active pipeline momentum despite these supply headwinds. CapitaLand announced a 53 MW facility before end-of-year, representing a 73% expansion of tracked supply from a single player. L&T broke ground on a second 52 MW Chennai facility to support its Vyoma cloud unit, signaling captive capacity deployment by major conglomerates. A Vyoma.AI lease deal was recorded but terms remain unspecified.
