ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (India) (STT GDC India), a co-location data center services provider in India, has broken ground for its first data center at the new Palava campus. It will have an initial IT load capacity of 50 MW, and will be spread across 46 acres.
According to a post on STT GDC India’s official LinkedIn account, the campus is designed to scale to ~400 MW of IT load. It is supported by an investment commitment that includes an MoU of INR 5,000 crore with the Government of Maharashtra. Readers would recall that this MoU was signed in October last year, its terms include, development of a new, large-scale campus in Palava, that will be purpose-built for AI and high-density computing.
“More than a new campus, this marks the emergence of Palava as a new data center region – purpose-built for next-generation, AI-ready and energy-efficient infrastructure,” said STT GDC India in the post. “Strategically located in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, this development strengthens Maharashtra’s leadership as India’s premier digital infrastructure hub and accelerates Mumbai’s rise as a global center for AI, cloud, and next-generation digital workloads.”
With an established presence across 10 major Indian cities including Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Noida, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur and Ahmedabad, this expansion further solidifies STT GDC India’s pan-India footprint.
