Major U.S. tech firms are delaying data center investments in India due to growing trade tensions and regulatory uncertainties. According to a CNBC report (Oct 6, 2025), companies including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have put expansion plans on hold as they evaluate the impact of India’s strict data localization rules and tariffs on imported tech equipment. The delays could impact India's ambitions to become a global digital hub.
