Pai Data Centers Expands with 3MW Mumbai Facility by 2026

Pai Data Centers is ramping up its presence in India with a cutting-edge 3MW data center in the heart of Mumbai, set to commence operations in August 2026. This announcement highlights the company’s commitment to fueling the nation’s digital economy.

Backing the project, JLL acted as exclusive advisor for the lease agreement and continues to support Pai’s 23MW portfolio growth, integrating hyper-scale, colocation, and cloud infrastructure. Mumbai’s strategic location makes it ideal for such deployments.

Synergizing with the 60MW hyper-scale site in Amaravati, this addition strengthens Pai’s ecosystem. A forthcoming 3MW center in Hyderabad, launching October 2026, further solidifies the expansion blueprint.

Kalyan Muppaneni, Pai’s trinity of Founder, Chairman, and CEO, stressed its criticality in meeting escalating enterprise needs, AI advancements, cloud uptake, and localization policies. The center prioritizes next-era digital requisites for seamless service to enterprises, hyperscalers, and AI operations.

Insights from JLL’s Rachit Mohan point to sustained sector vitality from AI tasks, digitization waves, and cloud expansions. Multi-location strategy equips Pai for minimal latency and high-volume operations.

Since 2020, India’s data center sector has achieved 24% CAGR, demand surging twofold in half a decade. Key drivers include hyperscalers, BFSI, e-commerce, media, and technology firms. India’s edge in costs, energy, and regulations cements its global hub status.

Anticipated 100GW capacity influx from 2026-2030 could double global supply. Worldwide, 14% CAGR is projected to 2030, necessitating grid-friendly energy tech, led by hyperscale giants.
