This mega project reaffirms Blackstone’s long-term commitment to India’s rapidly evolving data landscape.
The integration of renewable energy sources in the data centre is a significant step towards sustainable infrastructure.
The facility will not only support the growing demand for cloud computing and AI but also contribute to a greener future.
This move aligns with the global trend of reducing carbon footprints in the tech industry, making it an attractive proposition for international investors and tech companies alike.
Panchshil Realty, a leading player in the Indian real estate market, has a strong track record of delivering high-quality projects.
The partnership with Blackstone ensures access to cutting-edge technology and global expertise, which will be crucial in establishing this data centre as a leader in the industry.
The strategic location in Navi Mumbai, a rapidly growing urban center, provides a robust ecosystem for tech and data-related businesses.
