Summary: A fire at a third-party data center in Delhi ignited on 2026-06-09 at 23:52 IST, forcing an emergency power shutdown of a non-compute local PoP. Google Cloud rerouted traffic from the affected facility, but demand continues to exceed rerouted capacity across some Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai metro ISPs. Elevated latency and non-optimal routing persist as of 2026-06-12. No restoration timeline has been published.
Why it matters: Applications with India-regional users relying on Google Cloud network paths may see ongoing degradation until the facility is restored.
Follow-up: Watch for restoration timeline and root cause statement on Google Cloud Status.
