CtrlS Datacenters, a major player in the Indian data center market, has 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.
This is a mind-boggling number, given how at present the total capacity in Hyderabad is only around one-tenth of it. According to Mordor Intelligence, the Hyderabad Data Center Market size in terms of installed base is expected to grow from 65.50 MW in 2025 to 196.76 MW by 2031, at a CAGR of 20.12 percent during the forecast period (2025-2031).
“Telangana is rapidly emerging as an economic powerhouse in India, making it strategic for CtrlS Datacenters’ expansion,” said Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Chairman, CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, explaining the choice of location. “Given the government’s strong support for the ICT sector and accelerating digital transformation, CtrlS Datacenters is proud to contribute to Hyderabad’s digital ecosystem through this state-of-the-art facility.”
Apart from government support, Hyderabad’s seismic zone-2 status makes it particularly attractive for disaster recovery services. CtrlS Datacenters currently operates three facilities in Hyderabad – one in HITEC City and two in Financial District, Gachibowli.
What to expect from CtrlS Chandanvelly Datacenter Park?
According to a press release, the buildings will be engineered for flexible ultra-high density rack configurations supporting up to 135 KW per rack and immersion cooling up to 300 KW per rack. It further said that in phase-1, the facility has secured 250 MW of sanctioned power capacity and plans to have a dedicated Gas Insulated Substation (GIS), expandable up to 900 MW, ensuring redundant power availability for uninterrupted operations. The facility will also house mission-critical operation centers, administrative offices, and collaboration spaces for customers.
Further, the facility will utilize advanced cooling systems like free air-cooling, direct liquid cooling, immersion cooling for achieving an annual Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) between 1.12 and 1.32, with potential for even greater efficiency through free cooling solutions. The buildings will feature solar module facades on both western and southern elevations, offering multiple benefits including thermal regulation, generating green power and aesthetic appeal.
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.
