AI-generated summary

TradingKey - During Asian trading hours on June 10, Google Cloud stated that a fire at a third-party data center in Delhi, India, forced an emergency power shutdown of regional network equipment, resulting in a reduction in network capacity. Google Cloud has since rerouted a significant portion of traffic from the affected Delhi facility to other nodes to address the decline in local service capacity and is exploring additional traffic mitigation measures.

The fire reportedly occurred in the early hours of June 5 at the Next-Gen Tower in the Greater Kailash area of New Delhi, a facility operated by Tata Communications. The blaze originated in a battery room on the third floor of the building, covering an area of approximately 200 square feet. The Delhi Fire Service received the call at 2:47 a.m. and dispatched 11 fire engines; the fire was quickly brought under control, and no civilian casualties were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and Tata Communications has not yet disclosed specific details regarding the extent of the facility's damage.

Affected by the emergency power shutdown, intermittent high latency has been reported in Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, and surrounding areas. In addition to the traffic rerouting already implemented, Google Cloud is evaluating further scheduling options to optimize network carrying capacity. The Next-Gen Tower is located within the infrastructure footprint of the new Delhi region launched by Google Cloud in 2026. Tata Communications stated it has activated business continuity protocols to maintain services and will closely monitor the situation as it develops.

As of press time, a specific timeline for the restoration of services at the affected facility has not been announced.
