Data centres are the backbone of today’s digital economy; powering cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), enterprise transformation, and data-driven innovation. As global and regional demand for data storage and processing accelerates, organisations are increasingly iornvesting in scalable, resilient, and sustainable data centre infrastructure. However, this growth comes with significant complexity. Businesses must navigate capital-intensive investment decisions, evolving regulatory frameworks, rising energy costs, sustainability expectations, and rapid technological advancements.
KPMG in India provides extensive data centre advisory services across the entire lifecycle of data centre-from strategy and investment planning to design, build, optimisation, and sustainability. We support a wide range of stakeholders, including hyperscalers, colocation providers, infrastructure developers, investors, and enterprise users. Our integrated approach combines expertise in strategy, financial advisory, technology, infrastructure, and sustainability to deliver measurable value and actionable outcomes.
Our methodology is rooted in four key principles. First, we offer an integrated approach, bringing together multidisciplinary capabilities to address most aspects of data centre development and operations. Second, our services are data-driven, leveraging analytics, benchmarking, and market insights to enable informed and confident decision-making. Third, we are future-focused, helping clients align with emerging trends such as AI workloads, edge computing, modular infrastructure, and green energy adoption. Finally, we are outcome-oriented, ensuring tangible results such as cost optimisation, faster time-to-market, improved operational efficiency, and long-term scalability.
Our advisory capabilities span the complete data centre investment and operations continuum. We support clients from market assessment, investment strategy, financial feasibility, and funding decisions through design, engineering, procurement, construction oversight, and operational readiness. Beyond commissioning, we help optimise operations through performance improvement, cybersecurity, facilities management, sustainability initiatives, and commercial analytics. We also support investors and operators with transaction advisory, fundraising, refinancing, valuation, and capital recycling strategies to maximise long-term value throughout the asset lifecycle.
We help clients address critical business challenges, including entering new markets, identifying optimal locations, securing investment, managing complex build programmes, improving operational efficiency, and achieving sustainability targets.
