BAM Digital Realty, a joint venture between Brookfield Infrastructure and Digital Realty, today announced the acquisition of 2.15 acres of land in Chandivali, Mumbai, to build a new state-of-the-art data centre, it’s second in India. 

With a total expected investment of more than INR 2000 crore (USD 250 million), the facility will deliver 35 megawatts (MW) of IT load upon completion, bringing the company’s total planned capacity in India to 135 megawatts (MW).

BAM Digital Realty’s new site was selected for its proximity to customers and central location in metro Mumbai, essential characteristics of a well-connected facility capable of supporting the growing demand for critical digital infrastructure in this region.

This strategic investment in Mumbai builds upon BAM Digital Realty’s initial foray into the India market. The company’s first 20 MW greenfield data center (MAA10), on a 100 MW campus in Chennai, is on track for launch at the end of 2023. Together, the two state-of-the-art data centers in Mumbai and Chennai will deliver rich ecosystem access to both west- and east-bound customers, leveraging Digital Realty’s global data center platform, PlatformDIGITAL®.

“Mumbai continues to be a prominent data center hub reinforced by the ongoing rapid expansion of the Indian data center industry that is fuelling the country’s significant digital transformation. As we expand our presence in India and enter the Mumbai market, we are strengthening our mission to offer the highest level of innovation and expertise to our local and global customers,” Arpit Agrawal, Managing Director, Head of Infrastructure, India & Middle East, Brookfield Infrastructure Group, said.
