Princeton Digital Group (PDG), a leading data center provider in Asia, is making waves with its ambitious USD 1 billion investment plan for India, driven by the surging demand for AI-ready data center infrastructure.

Princeton Digital Group (PDG), Asia's leading data center provider, today unveiled a major growth strategy for India, fueled by a USD 1 billion investment to expand its capacity to 230 MW across the country. This move is part of PDG's new USD 5 billion investment program for AI-ready data centers in Asia, positioning the company at the forefront of the AI revolution.

In Mumbai, PDG's flagship MU1 campus will undergo a massive expansion, with the addition of three new buildings tripling its existing capacity to 150 MW.

Furthermore, PDG is entering the Chennai market, a well-established cloud hub in India. The company is constructing a 72 MW AI-ready campus, named CH1, in the northern Chennai Metropolitan Area, a prime location housing some of the world's leading hyperscalers. This state-of-the-art facility will be built on 9.3 acres, with scalability for future expansion.

"Over the last 18 months, AI has completely transformed the data center landscape," said Rangu Salgame, Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder of PDG. "India is well-positioned to be a global AI leader, and we are determined to play an important role in making that happen. As one of the fastest-growing data center operators, our USD 1 billion investment in India is a testament to our deep commitment to the country's AI and cloud ecosystems."

Both MU1 and CH1 are state-of-the-art AI-ready campuses, supporting high-density deployments and cutting-edge cooling technologies. Sustainability is a core focus for PDG, with the company procuring renewable energy sources and implementing hybrid cooling options to optimize operational efficiency and environmental goals.

"Mumbai and Chennai have been the pre-eminent hubs for cloud infrastructure in India due to the combination of submarine cable landing proximity, high-quality power supply, availability of renewable energy, and robust infrastructure development," said Vipin Shirsat, Managing Director of PDG India. "With the advent of AI in India, both locations are well-positioned to become leading AI infrastructure hubs as well."

PDG's expansion in India is part of a broader 500 MW growth strategy across Asia, backed by a $5 billion investment program that will increase the company's capacity and data center presence in India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. As the AI revolution continues to reshape the data center landscape, PDG's strategic investments position the company as a key player in driving the region's AI and cloud ecosystems.
