In Chandivali, Mumbai, BAM Digital Realty, a joint venture between Digital Realty and Brookfield Infrastructure, is constructing its second cutting-edge data facility.
The company has acquired 2.15 acres for this, and the plant would eventually produce 35 megawatts (Mw) of IT load with a total estimated investment of more than Rs 2,000 crore (about $250 million).
With the addition of this new data centre, the company’s anticipated capacity in India will total 135 Mw.
The initial venture into the Indian market by BAM Digital Realty is expanded upon by this strategic investment in Mumbai. By the end of 2023, the business will launch MAA10, a 20-Mw greenfield data centre on a 100-Mw campus in Chennai.
The new site in Mumbai was short-listed due to its proximity to customers and central location in the city, essential characteristics of a well-connected facility capable of supporting the growing demand for critical digital infrastructure in this region.
Arpit Agrawal, Managing Director, Head of Infrastructure, India & Middle East, Brookfield Infrastructure Group, says, “Mumbai continues to be a prominent data centre hub reinforced by the ongoing rapid expansion of the Indian data centre industry that is fuelling the country’s significant digital transformation.”
