CtrlS Datacenters is planning an investment of ₹10,000 crore in Bihar for a proposed 150 MW hyperscale data centre project at Bodh Gaya, according to reports published on October 15. The plan is expected to strengthen the state’s digital infrastructure and support demand for data storage and computing capacity.
What is planned at Bodh Gaya?
The reported project is designed as a hyperscale facility with planned capacity of 150 megawatts. Coverage indicates the investment is linked to a non-binding letter of intent, so the details should be understood as a project plan rather than a completed investment. A definitive construction timeline has not been disclosed in the reports reviewed.
Patna data centre also expands capacity
The announcement follows the inauguration of a CtrlS data centre in Patna with an investment reported at around ₹400 crore. The facility has an initial IT capacity of 12 MW and is intended to serve enterprises, government organisations and technology businesses in Bihar and eastern India.
Why data centres matter
Data centres support cloud services, enterprise applications, digital payments, artificial intelligence workloads and data-intensive public services. Additional capacity in eastern India could help organisations access digital infrastructure closer to their users, though the wider economic impact will depend on project execution, connectivity, power availability and demand.
What happens next?
Key details to watch include final approvals, land and infrastructure arrangements, construction milestones, funding and the eventual commissioning schedule. The ₹10,000 crore figure represents the reported planned investment and should not be mistaken for money already spent.
