A plan to build one of the largest new greenfield campuses in the Mumbai region has been announced by Singapore-based Princeton Digital Group (PDG), one of Asia’s leading data centre providers.

PDG’s Navi Mumbai project, its first data centre in India, is scheduled to be service-ready in 2022. It will have 48 MW of critical IT capacity across two buildings.

The new campus is designed to serve leading hyperscalers including internet and cloud companies in the fast-growing Mumbai region, with infrastructure built to hyperscale design and standards to support the massive scale requirements of customers in the area.

“Our commitment to supporting our hyperscale customers in India is part of our core strategy to be a market leader in APAC,” said Rangu Salgame, chairman and CEO of PDG.

PDG has a portfolio of 18 data centres, with over 350MW, across four countries – China, Singapore, Indonesia and now India.

PDG says that Mumbai is the most exciting market in India and that Navi Mumbai is the preeminent cluster within Mumbai. With this campus, PDG feels it has become a significant player in the India market. Its declared ambition is to be one of the largest, pan-national hyperscale data centre providers in the country over the next tree years.

PDG says its operational model enables it to rapidly enter critical hyperscale growth markets like Mumbai and power its customers with globally standardized, secure, reliable, and sustainable data centre capacity.
