Spanning 5.59 acres, this cutting-edge facility is designed to meet the growing demand for AI computing
ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (India) (STT GDC India) has launched a new AI-ready data centre campus in New Town, Kolkata on Monday, with an investment of INR 450 Crore.
Spanning 5.59 acres, this cutting-edge facility is designed to meet the growing demand for AI computing. It will provide high-density rack configurations, advanced cooling systems, and scalable, modular designs to support AI and other high-performance computing workloads.
The campus has received the TIA-942 Rated-3 Design certification, highlighting its world-class infrastructure and reliability. The data centre has an IT power capacity of 10 MW, with the first building offering 5-6 MW. Its power design includes N+2C redundancy for reliable power availability, along with a radial N+N configuration for main power incomers.
The campus provides a significant boost to digital infrastructure creation in the eastern part of the country with scalable capacity of up to 25 MW in terms of overall IT load.
Bimal Khandelwal, CEO of STT GDC India, said, “Our Kolkata campus is specifically designed to support the burgeoning AI ecosystem, from startups developing local language AI models to enterprises deploying large language models. The facility’s high-performance computing capabilities and low-latency connectivity will empower organisations to build and deploy AI solutions that drive digital transformation across sectors.”
The facility’s design ensures zero Single Points of Failure (SPOF), with flexibility for future technologies like liquid cooling. It also prioritises sustainability with low PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) cooling, water conservation measures, and the use of low-GWP refrigerants to reduce its carbon footprint.
Scheduled to go live in Q2 2025, the Kolkata data centre will expand STT GDC India’s network to 30 data centres across 10 cities, offering a total IT load capacity of 390 MW. Its strategic location in New Town’s Silicon Valley will serve as a key hub for AI development, supporting enterprises, hyperscale cloud service providers, and government organisations
