Adani holds ten acres at Sector 80 in Noida, allotted in April 2021 for ₹70 crore with a six-year build obligation, intended as a 50 MW hyperscale data-centre park developed through the AdaniConneX special purpose vehicle, Noida Data Centre Limited. The registry records a 6 MW current proposal. The reason that number is small is documented: in September 2024 Noida Authority approved sub-leasing the plot to the SPV after state-government intervention, and in June 2025 it reversed that decision.
1At a glance
2Capacity reconciliation
Two figures, and the difference between them is almost entirely a permissions question rather than an engineering one.
| Figure | Date | MW | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 MW | The hyperscale data park intended at Sector 80, as described when the sub-lease to Noida Data Centre Limited was sought and approved | Planned | |
| 6 MW | The current proposal recorded by this registry, reconciled against the Uttar Pradesh Data Centre Policy dashboard listing | Registry | |
| 50 MW | Dashboard figure, inherited from the original park plan and not updated to reflect the permission reversal | State dashboard | |
| 20 acres | Allocation referenced in regional reporting, against the 10 acres in the authority record. The discrepancy is not explained publicly | Conflicting |
Treat 6 MW as the registry figure and 50 MW as the park intention. Neither is evidence of construction. The 50 MW number has been in circulation since 2021 and has survived the permission reversal unchanged, which is exactly why it should not be read as a build plan.
This record is a textbook case for why a two-and-a-half-year-old announcement should not be carried into a vendor pipeline without re-verification.
3Land and the sub-lease — the constraint that matters
The plot itself is unremarkable. What happened to it is the story, and it is publicly documented in unusual detail.
4Why this matters more than one plot of land
Adani's Sector 62 plot was permitted to be sub-leased to an SPV in 2021, and that SPV route is what allowed the flagship Noida facility to reach operation with Google as tenant. The Sector 80 plot was allotted two months earlier and has not moved, because the same permission was refused and then withdrawn.
This is what execution risk looks like in Indian data centres: not capital, not demand, not technology — a sub-lease clause in a land allotment.
For anyone tracking Noida capacity, the signal to watch is not an MW announcement. It is a Noida Authority order permitting sub-lease to Noida Data Centre Limited, or a declaration that the project is functional under the current structure.
5Timeline
- Ten acres in Sector 80 notified for allotment to Adani Enterprises at ₹70 crore, with a six-year build condition.
- The separate Sector 62 plot is allotted, and is later permitted to be sub-leased to DC Development Noida — the route that produced the operational facility recorded as PRJ-007.
- Adani Enterprises applies to sub-lease the Sector 80 plot to Noida Data Centre Limited. A Noida Authority committee recommends rejection.
- The Uttar Pradesh chief secretary approves sub-leasing after state-government intervention, citing the amended Uttar Pradesh Data Centre Policy of 2022.
- Noida Authority reverses the position: no sub-lease before the project is declared functional, and no relaxation of the original allotment conditions.
- Construction start, capacity build, tenant, commissioning. No public evidence of any of these as of 22 October 2026.
6What it means commercially
There is nothing to sell into here. There is land, an intention for a 50 MW park, and a permission dispute. There is no building, no specification and no schedule.
What to monitor. A Noida Authority order permitting the sub-lease, a declaration that the project is functional, or an environmental clearance filing. Any of those converts this from Tier C to a trackable project, and it would move quickly if it did — the AdaniConneX delivery machine is already running in the same city at Sector 62.
Where Noida capacity actually is is Sector 62 (PRJ-007), which is operational with a Google lease and roughly 115 MW of site headroom left. That is the sellable record.
