BAM Digital Realty, a joint venture between Brookfield Infrastructure and Digital Realty, has acquired 2.15 acres of land in Chandivali, Mumbai, to build a new state-of-the-art data center, its second in India. With a total expected investment of more than Rs 2000 crore, the facility will deliver 35 MW of IT load upon completion, bringing the company’s total planned capacity in India to 135 MW.
This investment in Mumbai builds upon BAM Digital Realty’s initial foray into the India market. The company’s first 20 MW greenfield data center (MAA10), on a 100 MW campus in Chennai, is on track for launch at the end of 2023. Together, the two state-of-the-art data centers in Mumbai and Chennai will deliver rich ecosystem access to both west- and east-bound customers, leveraging Digital Realty’s global data center platform, PlatformDIGITAL.
Arpit Agrawal, MD, head of infrastructure, India & Middle East, Brookfield Infrastructure Group, said, “Mumbai continues to be a prominent data center hub reinforced by the ongoing rapid expansion of the Indian data center industry that is fueling the country’s digital transformation.”
Serene Nah, MD and head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty, said, “The choice of Chandivali gives local and global customers convenient access to a well-connected facility in the heart of Mumbai.”
