Pi Data Centers Announces Mumbai Data Centre, Partners JLL for Growth

The first stage of Pi Data Centers' 3 MW facility in central Mumbai has been launched, the company announced. In addition, the business has teamed up with JLL to back its 23 MW expansion of hyperscale, AI-ready, colocation, and cloud data centre capacity all throughout India. The Mumbai facility is expected to be operational by August 2026. With yearly turnover of $26.1 billion, JLL is a worldwide provider of investment management and commercial real estate services.

Under the terms of this agreement, JLL will advise Pi exclusively on the lease of its first Mumbai facility. Pi already has 60 MW of hyperscale capacity in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, and another 3 MW facility in Hyderabad, Telangana, scheduled to open in October 2026. The Mumbai facility will be an addition to these other two locations.

Offerings of Pi Data’s Mumbai’s Facility

To better serve corporations, hyperscalers, and AI-driven firms in important Indian markets, Pi has constructed a purpose-built facility in Mumbai to satisfy the demands of next-generation digital technologies. The data centre is designed to provide high availability, scalability, and operational resilience, thanks to its unique infrastructure and future-ready architecture, the business stated. According to Pi Data Centers' founder, chairman, and CEO Kalyan Muppaneni, this capacity augmentation complements the company's current 60 MW infrastructure in Amaravati.

He went on to say that in October of 2026, the company's second forthcoming 3 MW data centre in Hyderabad will go live. The organisation will be able to provide high-performance digital infrastructure throughout critical locations with the help of these centres. Muppaneni elaborated by saying that the firm is able to offer low-latency access and large-scale capacity in a way no one else can because of its presence in Mumbai, Amaravati, and Hyderabad. This two-pronged advantage, he said, makes Pi the go-to choice for businesses and hyperscalers in India constructing AI-ready, resilient digital infrastructure.

India Emerging as a Hub of Data Centres: Mohan

Due to its economic competitiveness, sufficient energy supply, and stable governance, India is quickly becoming a global data centre powerhouse, according to Rachit Mohan, managing director, data centre leasing, APAC, JLL. Pi has a profound grasp of the requirements for next-generation digital infrastructure, and this deal reflects that. To meet the complex demands of hyperscalers and organisations, modern digital infrastructure must be strategically located, scalable to the future, and efficient to the max.

Over the past five years, yearly absorption has nearly doubled, contributing to a 24% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in India's data centre business, as pointed out by Mohan. Demand from hyperscalers, the BFSI, e-commerce, media, and tech industries has been the main force behind this expansion. Further acceleration is anticipated to be brought about by AI workloads, digitalisation, and cloud services. Between 2026 and 2030, the addition of 100 GW of new data centres is projected, doubling the worldwide capacity, according to JLL. In order to address grid constraints, energy advances will be necessary to accommodate the data centre sector's projected 14% CAGR through 2030. With a mix of leasing and self-building, hyperscalers will continue to be a major force in the sector's expansion.
