Rupee slides for third straight week as tariff deadline, Fed decision near
By Jaspreet Kalra MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Indian rupee fell to a one-month low on Friday, and logged its third straight weekly decline, pressured by outflows from local stocks and caution among investors ahead of a news-heavy week dominated by tariffs and central bank decisions. The rupee closed at 86.5150 against the U.S. dollar on Friday, down 0.4% on the week. The local currency hit a low of 86.6250 earlier in the session, its weakest level since June 23. India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, fell about 0.9% each, weighed down by a fall in global equities alongside worries over weak corporate earnings and a delayed U.S.-India trade deal. Dollar sales from local private banks, likely on behalf of exporter clients, helped limit the rupee's losses, a trader at a Mumbai-based bank said. The dollar index was up 0.2% at 97.7 while Asian currencies declined by as much as 0.7%. Next week is poised to be eventful, with trade talks between U.S. and China, monetary policy decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan, the reciprocal tariff deadline, and key U.S. economic data expected to keep traders on their toes. The odds of a rate-cut by the Fed are near-zero but investors will keep an eye on commentary from the Fed Chair and whether the decision is unanimous. "We maintain our view that the impact of tariffs will be transitory and that it will be appropriate for the FOMC to resume cutting interest rates gradually in September (by 25bp) with another 25bp cut in December," ANZ said in a Friday note. The chances of a rate cut in September are currently around 60%, per CME's FedWatch tool. Evolving rate cut expectations will also be in focus locally as cooling inflation has prompted calls for at least one more interest rate cut this year. The RBI slashed rates by 100 bps over the first half of the year.

India's Edge Data Centre Capacity to Triple to 200-210 MW by 2027: ICRA
The edge data centre capacity as a percentage of total India's data centre capacity is likely to increase to 8 per cent by 2027 from 5 per cent in 2024 You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. India's edge data centre capacity is expected to significantly expand to 200-210 Megawatt (MW) by 2027 from 60-70 MW in 2024, marking a 3-fold increase, driven by proliferation of emerging technologies, according to rating agency ICRA. Global data centre capacity (including capacity held by cloud operators) is estimated at around 50 Gigawatt (GW) as of December 2024, of which about 10 per cent is edge data centres. The US commands over 44 per cent of worldwide edge data centre capacity, followed by Europe, the Middle East and Africa (the EMEA) region at 32 per cent and Asia Pacific (the APAC) region at 24 per cent. Edge data centres are smaller, decentralised facilities located closer to end-users and devices. Unlike traditional data centres, which are typically large and centralised, edge data centres enable real-time data processing with minimal latency (the delay between a user action and the corresponding system response). This makes them ideal for supporting emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), and generative artificial intelligence (AI). These new age applications and technologies are forecasted to grow significantly in the medium term, resulting in an increased demand for edge data centres. India is a relatively new entrant in the edge data centre market. The current edge data centre capacity as a percentage of total India's data centre capacity stands at around 5 per cent. Further, excluding the edge data centre capacity used for captive purposes by one of the large data centre operators, the current edge data centre capacity as a percentage of total capacity is as low as 1 per cent. Anupama Reddy, Vice President and Co-Group Head, Corporate Ratings, ICRA, said: "Edge data centres differ from traditional data centres in multiple parameters like size, location, scale, time taken to construct, capex cost per MW, distance from end user, etc. In the Indian context, traditional data centres and edge data centres are complementary pillars of digital infrastructure." "With the expanding cloud ecosystem of India, traditional data centres will keep fuelling mass-scale computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud workloads, and edge data centres will facilitate real-time processing and localised services. Traditional and edge data centres are expected to operate in the hub-and-spoke model to enhance efficiencies across sectors such as healthcare, banking, agriculture, Defence, and manufacturing etc.," she added. Despite the promising outlook, some of the key challenges for edge data centres include security vulnerabilities due to remote deployments (majorly in tier II and tier III cities), rapid technological changes that risk obsolescence, a shortage of skilled professionals in remote areas, and interoperability issues with traditional data centres. "The rentals for edge data centres are anticipated to be on the higher side compared to traditional data centres, as they will be catering primarily to retail customers against enterprise/hyperscale customers for traditional data centres. Moreover, the relatively higher capex cost per MW for edge data centre compared to a traditional data centre is expected to be compensated by higher rentals. Established DC players and entities like RailTel, Telcom operators are likely to lead the edge data centre expansion in India," Reddy added.
