Hi Tamil Selvan M • No, it is not possible to increase the storage capacity beyond 16 TB for a SQL Managed Instance of General Purpose with Hardware Configuration of Standard series. This is because the maximum instance reserved storage for SQL Managed Instance is 16 TB. One possibility is to evaluate if the data can be archived, compressed or sharded into multiple databases. You can also reach out to Microsoft support team for more insight about the capacity limit. Thank you!
