The Adani Group will invest Rs 2,500 crore to set up a hyperscale data centre (DC) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, called Adani Chennai-1. The foundation stone for the project was laid recently.
Adani Chennai-1 DC will be located at the Siruseri IT Park that houses companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Cognizant and FSS.
It will be the biggest hyperscale Tier-3+DC in Chennai with 32 MW IT load, and a one-stop-shop for telecom and IT infrastructure needs of hyperscale customers. It will transform Chennai into South-East Asia’s DC hub.
In July 2020, Adani Enterprises had entered into a non-binding pact with the Tamil Nadu government for exploring possibilities to set up a hyperscale DC in the state. This is in addition to the DCs in NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
