Equinix, a data centre corporation based in the United States, has announced an initial investment of $86 million in a new data centre in Mumbai. The company has purchased a four-acre plot of land in Mumbai’s Chandivali neighbourhood.
The new data centre, which will be known as MB3, will be Equinix’s third in Mumbai. The MB3 IBX data centre will be located next to Equinix’s MB2 IBX data centre and 1.5 kilometres from the MB1 IBX data centre.
The first phase of MB3 is set to open in Q2 2024, with an initial capacity of over 1,375 cabinets and a total capacity of over 4,150 cabinets when entirely built out.
