The park will be spread across 370 acres in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) with a planned capacity of 2 gigawatts, designed to host multiple leading international and domestic players. The initiative is expected to create nearly 6,000 direct and indirect jobs, with Lodha Developers acting as the master developer while various data centre operators set up their facilities within the park.
The development comes a year after Maharashtra introduced its Green Integrated Data Centre Parks policy in October 2024. The policy requires data centres, known for their high energy consumption, to run on renewable and alternative energy sources. As part of the programme, three such parks will be established across MMR to meet the rising demand for digital infrastructure fuelled by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the rapid adoption of digital services.
Maharashtra had earlier declared data centres a “thrust area” for industrial growth back in 2019, underscoring its commitment to attract investments into this sector. The latest partnership with Lodha Developers strengthens that vision while aligning with India’s broader sustainability goals.
Abhishek Lodha, MD & CEO of Lodha Developers Ltd, said the collaboration reflects the company’s focus on green growth. “The Green Integrated Data Centre Parks policy will not only create employment opportunities and boost the economy but will also operate on clean and green energy sources benefiting generations. At Lodha, we are aiming for net zero across our operations in the coming years and are committed to the success of this initiative,” he said.
The MoU underscores Maharashtra’s ambition to emerge as a global destination for data centre investments by combining industrial growth with sustainability, ensuring the state stays ahead in the digital economy.
