Pi Data Centers has partnered with JLL to accelerate its national expansion, announcing the Phase I launch of a 3MW data center facility in Central Mumbai, set to go live in August 2026.
The collaboration marks a significant milestone as Pi Data Centers expands its footprint into one of India’s most vital financial and digital hubs. JLL acted as the exclusive advisor on the lease transaction for the Mumbai facility and is also supporting Pi’s broader 23MW expansion plan focused on hyperscale, AI-ready, colocation, and cloud infrastructure.
With over a decade of operational experience, Pi Data Centers currently serves more than 600 clients across sectors including banking, healthcare, retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, and government. The Mumbai facility will complement its existing 60MW hyperscale capacity in Amaravati and an upcoming 3MW facility in Hyderabad scheduled for October 2026, strengthening its nationwide presence.
Designed to meet next-generation digital demands, the new data center will cater to enterprises, hyperscalers, and AI-driven businesses. The facility is built with advanced infrastructure aimed at ensuring high availability, scalability, and resilience—key requirements for modern data-driven operations.
Kalyan Muppaneni, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Pi Data Centers, emphasised that the expansion aligns with India’s growing need for AI-led transformation, cloud adoption, and data localisation. He highlighted that the company’s presence across Mumbai, Amaravati, and Hyderabad will enable low-latency access combined with large-scale capacity, positioning Pi as a strong partner for enterprises building AI-ready digital ecosystems.
Rachit Mohan, Managing Director – Data Center Leasing, APAC at JLL, noted that India’s data center sector has grown at a 24% compound annual growth rate since 2020, driven by increasing demand from hyperscalers and industries such as BFSI, e-commerce, and technology. He added that the rise of AI workloads and digitalisation is expected to further accelerate this momentum, reinforcing India’s position as a global data center hub.
The partnership underscores a shared vision to develop future-ready, scalable digital infrastructure that supports India’s rapidly evolving technology landscape.
