BAM Digital Realty, a joint venture between Digital Realty and Brookfield Infrastructure, has announced that construction of its first data center facility in India is underway and on track to open later this year.
The facility is part of a campus which is designed for a maximum capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) upon full buildout and is located on a 10-acre campus in Ambattur Industrial Estate, an important industrial and manufacturing hub located close to Chennai’s city center, airport and other major services. The first phase, MAA10, will offer 20MW critical capacity to support the growing demand for digital infrastructure in India.
Seema Ambastha, Chief Executive Officer, BAM Digital Realty, said: “Our campus in Chennai is the beginning of our journey in India. Our decision to start with Chennai is driven by the continuing rapid growth in the Indian data center industry supporting the massive Digital Transformation that the country is experiencing.
“The promise of Chennai emerging as a new data center hub is well supported by progressive policy impetus at both the central and state governments. We look forward to leading from the front as we expand in India with an unwavering commitment to a connected ecosystem and uninterrupted Business Continuity.”
