Singapore-based Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has plans for expanding capacity to a total of 230 MW in the country, under an investment plan of USD one billion. Furthermore, this is part of PDG’s new USD five-billion investment program for AI-ready data centres in Asia.

The expansion makes PDG’s flagship MU1, one of the largest operational campuses in Mumbai as three new buildings would triple the campus’ existing capacity to 150 MW. The first phase of the 100 MW expansion is scheduled for delivery in 2026. The MU1 campus will occupy around 15 acres of land, on completion.

PDG will also enter Chennai, one of the cloud hubs in India. Named CH1, the 72 MW AI-ready campus is located in the northern Chennai Metropolitan Area, and the data centre facility will be built over 9.3 acres with scalability for future expansion. Both MU1 and CH1 are AI-ready campuses supporting high density deployment, and cutting-edge cooling technologies, and MU1 is the first data centre in Mumbai to achieve the coveted IGBC Platinum certification. 

The company recently unveiled its 500 MW expansion strategy across Asia with a $5 billion investment program that will see PDG increase its capacity and presence in India, Indonesia and Malaysia.
