A major Australian data center company revealed plans Friday to pour $30 billion into India’s technology infrastructure over the coming four years, targeting the construction of 5 gigawatts worth of new data center facilities across the South Asian country.<\/p>

AirTrunk, which operates from Sydney and receives financial backing from Blackstone and Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, made its entry into India’s market this past April through acquiring Lumina CloudInfra.<\/p>

The company currently has 600 megawatts worth of capacity projects in development across Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, but plans to significantly expand this portfolio through the massive new investment commitment.<\/p>

Following a Friday meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Executive Robin Khuda described India as among the Australian firm’s most important long-term investment targets.<\/p>

“One of the strongest messages we took away from this week was a genuine sense of urgency. There is a recognition that AI investment is a global race and that capital will flow to places that are prepared to compete for it,” Khuda said.<\/p>

“Every market has strengths and challenges. What investors consistently look for is certainty, coordination and speed.”<\/p>

India has positioned itself as an attractive destination for artificial intelligence development by providing tax incentives to international companies that operate through local data centers.<\/p>

Major Indian business groups are also ramping up their technology infrastructure investments, with Reliance and Adani announcing commitments of approximately $110 billion and $100 billion respectively in February.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
