2026-04-14

Pi Data Centers has partnered with JLL to support its national expansion plan of 23MW in hyperscale AI-ready, colocation and cloud data centre capacity, as the company prepares to launch Phase I of its first Mumbai facility.

Announced on April 13 in Mumbai, the collaboration will see Pi Data Centers launch a 3MW data centre in Central Mumbai, which is scheduled to go live in August 2026. JLL acted as the exclusive advisor for the lease transaction for Pi’s Mumbai facility and will also advise the company on its broader 23MW expansion roadmap.

Pi Data Centers, which has been operating for 11 years, currently serves over 600 customers across sectors such as BFSI, pharma, healthcare, retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, payment gateways and government institutions. The company said its expansion into Central Mumbai—one of India’s most significant financial and digital hubs—marks a key milestone in strengthening its national footprint.

The Mumbai facility will add to Pi’s existing 60MW hyperscale capacity in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, and an upcoming 3MW facility in Hyderabad, expected to be operational in October 2026. Designed to meet next-generation digital requirements, the Mumbai data centre is engineered for high availability, scalability and operational resilience, enabling the company to better serve enterprises, hyperscalers and AI-driven businesses.

“Our new Central Mumbai DC facility with 3MW is going live in Phase I out of our planned 23MW capacity expansion,” said Kalyan Muppaneni, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Pi Data Centers, adding that the expansion will support growing demand driven by AI transformation, cloud adoption and data localisation.

Rachit Mohan, Managing Director - Data Center Leasing, APAC, JLL, said India’s data centre industry has grown at a 24% CAGR since 2020, driven by demand from hyperscalers and digital-first sectors. He added that AI workloads and cloud services will further accelerate momentum.
