PDG Announces Major India Expansion with New Campuses in Mumbai and Hyderabad March 25, 2026 Asia-Pacific data center specialist Princeton Digital Group (PDG) is significantly scaling its operations in India, one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies. The company has secured land for two new campuses, a strategic move that underscores the intensifying race to build infrastructure capable of supporting the country's surging demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence services. The Singapore-based operator announced a multi-site acquisition this week, adding a potential 210 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity to its Indian portfolio. The expansion includes a second campus in the critical Mumbai metro area, known as MU2 in Navi Mumbai, and its first entry into the Hyderabad market, designated HY1. The MU2 facility is planned as a single five-story building offering 120MW, while the Hyderabad campus, HY1, is envisioned as a three-building complex with a capacity of 90MW. PDG noted that both sites have secured necessary power and land approvals, positioning them for faster development. This investment is part of PDG's broader commitment to invest $2.5 billion in the Indian market. Upon completion, these projects are expected to help grow the company's total footprint in the country to up to 1 gigawatt (GW). "India is entering a defining phase of its cloud and AI journey," said Rangu Salgame, Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder of PDG. "As one of the most important markets, India is integral to PDG’s growth and investment strategy in building a world-class portfolio of data centers serving global hyperscalers. This acquisition reflects our commitment to scaling responsibly with secured power, approvals in place, and a clear path to execution." PDG is not new to the Indian market. Its existing MU1 campus in Airoli, Navi Mumbai, launched its first two buildings with a combined 50MW of capacity in 2022 and 2023. A 100MW expansion is currently underway at that site. The company also has a 72MW campus planned in Chennai. Vipin Shirsat, Managing Director for India at PDG, emphasized the strategic nature of the latest move: "Since entering India in 2022, we have approached the market as a long-term growth engine and a strategic region for our global customers. This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver AI-ready, high-density capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad." The expansion signals robust confidence in India's digital infrastructure demand, driven by rapid adoption of digital services, data localization policies, and the computational needs of next-generation AI workloads. PDG, founded in 2017 and backed by major investors including Warburg Pincus, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Mubadala, and Stonepeak, is positioning itself as a key facilitator of this growth across the Asia-Pacific region.
