Equinix Expands Data Center Capacity in India
Equinix, a big company that builds data centers, is planning to make its data centers in India three times bigger by 2028.
They are currently building a new data center in Chennai.
However, they need the government to make sure there is enough electricity for all these new data centers.
The problem is that even if they have enough power now, the electricity stations might not be able to handle the increased demand in the future.
So, the government needs to plan ahead and build more power stations to support these data centers as they grow.
Equinix plans to triple its data center capacity in India by 2028.
