Pi Data Centers, a prominent Indian data center and cloud service provider, has announced the Phase I launch of a 3 MW data center facility in Central Mumbai, which is set to go live in August 2026. The new facility will complement Pi’s existing 60 MW hyperscale capacity in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, and another upcoming 3 MW facility in Hyderabad, Telangana, slated for October 2026.
In a press release, the company revealed that in collaboration with JLL, a renowned international property consulting firm, served as the exclusive advisor on the lease transaction for Pi’s first Mumbai facility and is advising on its 23 MW expansion plan for hyperscale AI-ready, colocation, and cloud data center capacity.
“Our new Central Mumbai DC facility with 3 MW is going live in Phase I out of our planned 23 MW capacity expansion. This will play a crucial role in supporting India’s accelerating demand for enterprises, AI-led transformation, cloud adoption and data localization,” said Kalyan Muppaneni, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Pi Data Centers.
“India’s data centre industry has expanded at 24 percent CAGR since 2020, with annual absorption nearly doubling over five years. Strong demand from hyperscalers, BFSI, e-commerce, media and technology sectors has driven this growth. AI workloads, digitalisation and cloud services will accelerate momentum further,” said Rachit Mohan, Managing Director – Data Center Leasing, APAC, JLL.
According to JLL’s 2026 Global Data Center Outlook, 100 GW of new data centers will be added between 2026 and 2030, doubling global capacity. The global data center sector will expand at a 14 percent CAGR through 2030, which will require energy innovations to alleviate grid constraints. Hyperscalers will remain a key driver of sector growth, executing a dual strategy of leasing and self-building.
