Yotta Infrastructure to set up Datacentre Park in Greater Noida at an investment of Rs 7,000 Crore
Digital Edge Bureau 27 Oct, 2020 0 comment(s)Yotta Infrastructure has received approvals from the Uttar Pradesh Government (UP)to set-up a 20-acre hyperscale datacenter park in the Greater Noida region. The park will consist of six interconnected datacenter buildings offering 30,000 racks capacity and 200 MW of power. It will be set up at an estimated cost of Rs 7,000 Crore (over $1 Billion). The construction for the first building will commence in December 2020.
“We’re thankful to the Uttar Pradesh Govt and Honorable Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath for providing us all the required approvals in record time. Yotta’s vision to support the Digital India initiative just received a big boost with the inclusion of our Northern India campus that will enable us to address India’s growing need for data sovereignty”, said Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Co-founder & Managing Director, Hiranandani Group.
Darshan Hiranandani, Group CEO, Hiranandani Group, said, “With our state-of-the-art campus, the NCR region will get its first hyperscale datacenter facility that was long due. The region contributes over 10 percent to the Indian GDP and has a huge concentration of enterprises and start-ups who need reliable datacenter services. The co-operation extended by the U.P. Government on all aspects such as land allotment, arrangement of electricity on open access basis etc. have been exceptional, and will go a long way to augment the datacenter infrastructure not only in this region but also in the country”.
Sunil Gupta, Co-founder & CEO of Yotta Infrastructure, said, “we expect our NCR campus to be operational with the first building before July 2022. It was a very natural choice for us to look at NCR to set up our third facility after Navi Mumbai and Chennai, given the growing needs of enterprises and intentions of hyperscale cloud service providers for expanding their availability zones in this region.”
Earlier in July 2020, Yotta launched the world’s 2nd largest Tier-IV datacenter in its Navi Mumbai Datacenter Park, Yotta NM1. The company had also announced its MoU with the Tamil Nadu Government for setting up a campus in Chennai at an investment of Rs 4,000 Crore.
