Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has announced plans to invest around $1 billion to enhance its data center capacity in India, targeting a total of 230 MW (megawatt) across major hubs in Mumbai and Chennai. This investment is part of PDG's broader $5 billion strategy to expand its presence in Asia.

The first phase of the initiative focuses on the expansion of the Mumbai Data Center, named ‘MU1,’ which will involve constructing three new buildings on approximately 15 acres. This development is expected to add nearly 150 MW to PDG’s current capacity, positioning it as one of the largest data center campuses in the city. The initial phase will include a 100 MW expansion and is anticipated to be completed by 2026.

In addition, PDG is entering the Chennai market with the new ‘CH1’ Data Center, which will feature a capacity of 72 MW in northern Chennai. This AI-ready facility will span around 9.3 acres and is designed for scalability to accommodate the demands of global hyperscalers.

Both the MU1 and CH1 campuses will utilize advanced cooling technologies and support high-density deployments for AI infrastructure. Sustainability is a key focus for PDG, with plans to source approximately 50% of the energy for MU1 from renewable sources.
