CtrlS Datacenters, a major player in the Indian data center market, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of the southern Indian state of Telangana to build a cluster of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ready data centers with a proposed investment of over Rs 10,000 crores. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos.

In a post on LinkedIn, Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder & CEO, CtrlS, said, “As CtrlS builds one of the most advanced AI-powered datacenter clusters, we remain committed to setting global benchmarks in innovation, sustainability, and economic impact. This partnership reflects the harmony between CtrlS and the State of Telangana in driving growth and technological leadership.”

He further shared how the project could directly and indirectly lead to the creation of 3,600 jobs, and could lead to generating incremental tax revenue to the tune of over Rs 250 crores during construction, and over Rs 100 crores annually thereafter.

Just two days before that CtrlS had announced plans to set up a new data center park at the upcoming Chandanvelly Industrial Park near Hyderabad. The 40-acre campus will feature multiple high density, ultra-high density along with AI-ready, interconnected data center buildings with a potential capacity of over 600 MW IT load when fully developed.

CtrlS Datacenters has a nationwide presence with 250 MW (IT Load) of combined data center capacity across key tier-1 markets, including Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Noida, and Kolkata. CtrlS Datacenters also operates Edge data center facilities in tier-2 markets such as Patna and Lucknow, with further expansions planned in these markets along with GIFT City (Ahmedabad), Bhubaneswar and Guwahati.
