PDG Plans Two New Data Center Campuses in India, Totaling 210MW

APAC data center company Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has acquired additional land in India for development. This week, the firm announced a multi-site acquisition in Mumbai and Hyderabad, adding 210MW of capacity.

The sites reportedly have power and land approvals secured. PDG’s website lists plans for a 90MW, three-building campus in Hyderabad (HY1) and a single five-story, 120MW building in Navi Mumbai (MU2). The company said the new capacity will bring its total Indian footprint to 1GW, with a committed investment of $2.5 billion in development.

“India is entering a defining phase of its cloud and AI journey,” said Rangu Salgame, chairman, CEO, and co-founder of PDG. “As one of the most important markets, India is integral to PDG’s growth and investment strategy in building a world-class portfolio of data centers serving global hyperscalers. This acquisition reflects our commitment to scaling responsibly with secured power, approvals in place, and a clear path to execution.”

PDG already has a presence in Mumbai, with its MU1 campus located on a 50-acre park in Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Announced in 2021, the first two buildings at the site are live, offering a combined 50MW of capacity. The first facility opened in Q4 2022, followed by the second last year. Construction is underway on the first phase of a 100MW expansion, which will bring the campus to five buildings. The company is also planning a 72MW, three-building campus in Chennai.
