NTT has plans to invest heavily in its Indian data center business during the next three years, including $400 million on solar projects, reported media outlets.
The company aims to have 2.5 million square feet of capacity in the next three years, and will spend $2 billion in the country over the same timeframe on data centers, networks and solar projects.
The company aims to expand from its current footprint of 1.5 million square feet across 10 data centers in four cities to 2.5 million square feet, and enter four more cities.
The company plans six more data center parks in the next three years. Three parks are under construction in Mahape, Airoli (both Navi Mumbai), and Chandivali in Mumbai, with more planned in Chennai, Delhi and Bengaluru. The company is also keen to enter Hyderabad and Pune, but will wait for demand to increase before doing so.
Investment will include $400 million to scale up green power generation capacity from 150 megawatts to 250
