Summary: A fire at a third-party data center facility in Delhi on 2026-06-09 triggered an emergency power shutdown that isolated Google Cloud's local Point of Presence in Delhi and reduced network capacity across the region. The incident began at 11:22 PDT (23:52 IST) on 2026-06-09. Network traffic originating from Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, and surrounding areas experienced intermittent elevated latency and packet loss. Google rerouted traffic but elevated latency continued as demand exceeded rerouted capacity. No resolution time has been published.
Why it matters: Applications relying on Google Cloud infrastructure in India should expect continued intermittent degradation; review latency SLOs for India-facing endpoints.
