Global data center operator Princeton Digital Group has entered into a strategic partnership with K Raheja Corp-backed Mindspace Business Parks REIT to develop the formers’ largest data center campus in India, at Mindspace Airoli West.
Under this new agreement, Mindspace REIT will develop 3 additional built-to-suit data centers, adding a further 1 million sq ft to the Singapore-based data center provider’s portfolio.
The REIT has already developed two data centers for Princeton Digital Group, measuring nearly 0.63 million sq ft.
Upon completion of new facilities, the business park will feature five data center buildings and the total data center footprint within the Mindspace REIT portfolio will stand at around 1.65 million sq ft. This development spanning over 15 acres, will become a part of the larger 50-acre campus ecosystem of Mindspace Airoli West.
“This deal reinforces our commitment to diversifying our portfolio and tapping into high-growth sectors like data centers. For us, integrating data centers into our portfolio makes strategic sense as they offer stable and long-term revenue streams, future proof our portfolio, and help diversify income sources,” said Ramesh Nair, CEO, Mindspace REIT.
Mindspace REIT will provide PDG with a full range of turnkey services, including power infrastructure, tailored to meet sustainability goals. These efforts align with the REIT’s commitment to supporting digital transformation while maintaining environmental responsibility.
Navi Mumbai has become a leading hub for cloud infrastructure, driven by its strategic location near submarine cable landing stations, stable power supply with zero outage, availability of renewable energy, and robust infrastructure. The micro-market is also well-positioned to accommodate the growth of AI technologies, making it an ideal choice for AI-enabled data center campuses.
Data centers in India are emerging as the most attractive growth opportunity for global institutional investors and leading developers. India has witnessed investments flooding into the data centre markets over the last two years, with multiple primary markets created simultaneously, along with the rapid development of campus sizes found in the most established global cities.
The rising preference for India among global data center majors is attributed to the data localisation norms and the government’s data center policy aimed at simplifying the rules. The new data center policy is also expected to provide necessary clearances and infrastructure in a time bound manner.
