Princeton Digital Group (PDG), which develops and operates data centres in Singapore, Japan, India, Indonesia, China, Malaysia and South Korea, has announced a strategic multi-site acquisition in India that adds 210 MW of capacity to its current platform.

This acquisition increases PDG’s total operating and planned capacity in the country to a gigawatt and, says the company, significantly enhances PDG’s ability to support hyperscalers as cloud adoption and AI-led digital transformation accelerate across India.

Specifically, the acquisition secures large-scale capacity across two of India’s most strategic data centre markets, Mumbai, on India’s west coast, and Hyderabad, the capital of southern India's Telangana state, with power secured and key land approvals in place. Together, says PDG, the sites deepen its presence in India, supporting an accelerated path to ready for service (RFS) for its global customers.

It also notes that this expansion nearly doubles the company’s planned capacity in India, significantly strengthening its position in the country. To date, PDG says it has committed about US$2.5 billion to India.

Rangu Salgame, Chairman, CEO and Co-founder of PDG explains: “As one of the most important markets, India is integral to PDG’s growth and investment strategy in building a world-class portfolio of data centres serving global hyperscalers. This acquisition reflects our commitment to scaling responsibly with secured power, approvals in place, and a clear path to execution.”

The company entered India in 2022, and, says Vipin Shirsat, Managing Director, India, “we have approached the market as a long-term growth engine and a strategic region for our global customers”. He adds: “This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver AI-ready, high-density capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Sustainability remains central to our approach, from IGBC Platinum-certified facilities and renewable energy procurement to green financing structures.”
