Hyderabad-based CtrlS Datacenters said that it plans to invest Rs 400 crore in its upcoming facility in Patna.

The upcoming data centre is located in the Pataliputra Industrial Area, through the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA).

The new site is located just 300 metres from CtrlS's existing Patna DC1 facility and is set to feature a 10MW IT load capacity and accommodate around 1,000 racks, the company said in a statement.

In a statement, Sridhar Pinnapureddy, founder and CEO at CtrlS Datacenters, said, “We are committed to developing a robust IT ecosystem in Bihar through our future-ready datacentres, serving hyperscalers, enterprises, and startups. We extend our gratitude to the State government for providing a conducive policy environment, an industry-friendly business climate, and attractive incentives for our upcoming project.”

In October last year, CtrlS Datacenters said it plans to invest $2 billion over the next six years to scale its operations and expand its business, as the demand for data processing and cloud storage surges across major markets.

The company's investment plan includes adding 350MW capacity across new and existing hyperscale and edge data centres in India and global markets. It is already exploring opportunities in various countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh.
