With competitory onshore leasing rates and vigor costs, good beneath those successful Chennai and Mumbai, Mangaluru offers a beardown instauration for cost-efficient information centre operations, according to Mangaluru Data Centre Feasibility Study 2025, released connected Friday.
The survey is the associated inaugural of Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), Silicon Beach Program (SBP) of Mangaluru, and Deloitte India.
Mangaluru emerges arsenic a promising hub successful Karnataka’s information centre ecosystem. Its increasing basal of IT professionals, expanding Global Capability Centres (GCCs), and expanding AI adoption further underscore its readiness to pull next-generation information investments, the survey said.
Mangaluru portion offers onshore leasing astatine ₹7.69 per sq ft per month, offering up to a 4 to 5 times outgo vantage (less) implicit Mumbai and up to 95% vantage implicit Chennai, depending connected portion and plus class.

Lower onshore leasing costs and competitory powerfulness tariffs unneurotic construe into a materially little full outgo of ownership (TCO), enabling operators to execute faster interruption adjacent and prolong higher semipermanent returns compared to metro-heavy deployments, the study said.
“These fundamentals, combined with precocious grid reliability and assured concern h2o availability, make a beardown and scalable instauration for next-generation compute infrastructure,” it said.
The study said that Mangaluru ranks among India’s apical 8 emerging GCC hotspots, strengthening its relation arsenic a unchangeable request centre for determination and mission-critical workloads.
Announcing the findings, B.V. Naidu, chairman, KDEM, said: “Infrastructure is the backbone of integer leadership. This survey confirms that Mangaluru offers the close operation of capability, control, and outgo to enactment India’s adjacent decennary of AI and cloud-led growth.

Rohith Bhat, pb manufacture anchor, Mangaluru clump of KDEM and founding-member SBP, said: “Mangaluru has softly assembled each the fundamentals required for a high-capacity, future-ready information centre ecosystem, from coastal geography and grid stableness to endowment extent and multimodal connectivity. With KDEM’s leadership, the SBP’s ecosystem development, and Deloitte’s insights, this survey charts a wide roadworthy representation for unlocking 1 GW of sustainable, AI-ready information centre capacity. This aligns straight with Karnataka’s Beyond Bengaluru maturation communicative and our committedness to processing future-ready exertion clusters crossed the State.”
