STT GDC Delhi 2 is 1 MW — the middle of three Delhi cards, sitting between a 0.9 MW suite and a 10 MW building. Delhi 1 and Delhi 2 together are 1.9 MW: 16% of the portfolio, and half the size of a single Mumbai city building. 84% of the Delhi portfolio is Delhi 3. These two small floors matter for the same reason the large one does — they are inside a city where no new data centre can be built — and there is no public evidence of whether either is still operating.

2The middle card
Three cards, one dominant building, two small floors. That is the whole Delhi portfolio.
| Building | MW | Share | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi 3 | 10 | 84% | the workhorse, and the only large building |
| Delhi 2 | 1 | 8.4% | a small floor |
| Delhi 1 | 0.9 | 7.6% | a smaller floor |
| Total | 11.9 | — | against a 12 MW headline |
A portfolio this lopsided is normal in a constrained city. One operator acquires or builds a single viable hall, then keeps two small floors for customers who need a Delhi address specifically.
The open question is whether those floors are still in service. Delhi’s construction and pollution rules have closed small facilities before, and neither card carries a stage. A 1 MW floor in Delhi in 2026 is either valuable or derelict, and the public record does not distinguish.
3Two suites that hold a city
The interesting thing about Delhi is what cannot be built, and that makes even a one-megawatt floor worth recording properly.
| Requirement | Delhi | Noida, 30 km away |
|---|---|---|
| Latency to the exchange | single-digit milliseconds | still low, but measurably more |
| Latency to government and banking customers | minutes | an hour in traffic, but no latency difference |
| Availability of new capacity | essentially none | 326 MW counted |
| Cost per megawatt | highest in the north | materially lower |
| Regulatory ease | restrictive | supportive, with a state data centre policy |
The practical consequence is that Delhi capacity does not compete with Noida on price. It competes on the handful of workloads that need to be inside the territory — and those workloads will pay a premium that a market number built from Noida megawatts will never capture.
For a buyer, that means Delhi’s 1.9 MW of small floors is not a rounding error in the north India market. It is the only supply in the part of the market that cannot be substituted.

5Limits and open questions
- No stage. Neither small Delhi floor is dated or staged.
- No racks, floor area or PUE.
- Counted at zero with the rest of Delhi.
- Basis unresolved — 1 MW is not labelled IT or gross.
- No indication whether the two small floors share a site with each other or with Delhi 3.
- What would close it. A stage. One word decides whether this is capacity or history.
