NTT has launched a new hyperscale data centre campus in Navi Mumbai with the first data centre - NAV1A.
This takes the company’s data centre footprint across the country to 12 facilities, with more than 2.5 million sq ft and 220 MW of facility power.
With the impending launch of 5G services and completion of the Myanmar/ Malaysia India Singapore Transit (MIST) submarine cable, the company is also working towards expanding into the edge data centre ecosystem in India through a joint venture (JV).
The data centres are part of the planned USD two billion investment that the company had earmarked in 2020 for scaling its infrastructure capacity to enable it to continue building its One NTT vision.
Moreover, large hyperscalers have already expressed interest in leveraging the MIST cable landing station at Mumbai and Chennai which NTT will then distribute across the country through data centre interconnect and edge data centres.
As part of its expansion plans, the company is planning a foray into the edge computing platforms.
The company will start with acquiring large land banks across the country and then build smaller data centre modules as per demand.
