Microsoft announced the general availability of its fourth cloud region in India on 6 August 2026. Named India South Central and located in Hyderabad, Telangana, it joins existing regions in Pune, Chennai and Mumbai.
The facility features three availability zones for higher resilience and is designed for enterprise workloads, sovereign-ready AI applications and mission-critical services. It uses air-cooled chillers requiring zero water, supporting Microsoft’s water-positive goal for 2030. The expansion forms part of Microsoft’s cumulative $20.5 billion investment commitment in India.
