India Cloud Computing Market

India Cloud Computing Market Overview:

The India cloud computing market size reached USD 29.50 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 232.78 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 25.80% during 2025-2033. The market is growing due to rising digital transformation, increasing AI and big data adoption, government initiatives like Digital India, cost efficiency, demand for hybrid cloud solutions, expanding data center infrastructure, and strong enterprise cloud adoption.

India Cloud Computing Market Trends:

Government Initiatives and Regulatory Support

Government-led programs such as Digital India, Startup India, and Make in India are boosting cloud adoption across enterprises and public sector organizations. Policies promoting data localization and cloud-first strategies for government projects are creating demand for domestic cloud services. The introduction of the Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB) and sectoral data regulations are further driving businesses to invest in secure, compliant cloud infrastructure. Additionally, the expansion of smart cities, e-governance services, and cloud-based public service delivery is increasing the reliance on cloud platforms, strengthening the overall India cloud computing market growth. For instance, in November 2024, The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the central bank of India, intends to launch a pilot initiative in 2025 aimed at delivering cost-effective local cloud data storage solutions to financial institutions. This initiative will involve the RBI collaborating with local IT firms, competing with major global cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud. The market for cloud services in India was estimated at US$ 8.3 billion (~Rs. 68,890 crore) in 2023, with projections indicating it will hit US$ 24.2 billion (~Rs. 2,00,860 crore) by the year 2028.

Growing AI, Big Data, and IoT Adoption

 The combination of cloud computing with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is fueling the need for scalable and high-performance cloud platforms. Companies use cloud-based artificial intelligence and analytical services to get fast insights and automated operations solutions that improve user interactions which are creating a positive India cloud computing market outlook. Cloud infrastructure requires significant expansion because organizations increase their usage of connected devices and smart infrastructure as well as edge computing deployments. Cloud solutions help businesses manage massive datasets, optimize supply chains, and improve predictive analytics, making the cloud a critical enabler of India’s digital economy. For instance, in November 2024, Qlik, a data integration, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) services provider, announced the introduction of a new cloud region in India. The cloud, based in Mumbai, is intended to meet the growing demand for local data storage, regulatory compliance, and sophisticated AI capabilities, according to the Pennsylvania-based corporation.

Expanding Data Center Infrastructure and Cloud Investments

Major cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are expanding their data center presence in India to meet growing demand. Domestic companies like Reliance Jio, Tata Communications, and NTT Data are also investing in cloud infrastructure. These developments are reducing latency, improving data security, and enhancing local cloud services. The rise of hyperscale data centers, increased fiber optic connectivity, and improved power availability are strengthening cloud capabilities. Enterprises are migrating from on-premise IT systems to cloud-based solutions, boosting overall market growth. For instance, in February 2025, CtrlS, an Indian data center operator, launched its data center campus in Chennai, India, with the opening of its second and final building.
