NTT Commits INR 2,400 Crore (USD 265.88 Million) to New Data Centre Campus in Bengaluru, India.

Bengaluru, India - December 3, 2025 - NTT has announced a INR 2,400 crore (USD 265.88 Million) investment to develop a major new data centre campus in Bengaluru, India, marking one of Karnataka’s largest single-site digital infrastructure commitments to date.

The project, located on an eight-acre parcel in Devanahalli near Kempegowda International Airport, expands the company’s long-term footprint in the region and underscores growing demand for AI-ready, hyperscale capacity across southern India.

According to company statements cited in local business reports, the campus will be built in phases and is planned to host three data centre buildings at full build-out. While NTT has not publicly disclosed the final installed IT load, industry reporting places the combined capacity in the 60 MW range, with some trade outlets referencing a broader 100 MW pipeline depending on final design and tenant requirements.

The company has, however, confirmed key infrastructure commitments, including a dedicated 220 kV substation to anchor stable, high-quality power delivery for AI, cloud and enterprise workloads.

The first building on the campus, sometimes referenced in coverage as Bengaluru 4 or Bengaluru 4A, is reported to have already begun operations with an initial tranche of IT capacity. NTT said this development, together with earlier facilities in the city, raises its cumulative investment in Karnataka to more than INR 4,100 crore (USD 454.22 Million).

Executives noted that Bengaluru’s concentration of digital-native enterprises, finance, healthcare, engineering and AI-focused startups continues to drive strong data centre demand, creating a favourable backdrop for long-term expansion.

The project comes as India’s data centre market reaches a new phase of scaled investment, propelled by AI training and inference needs, cloud region expansions and growing regulatory emphasis on domestic data processing.

Karnataka has positioned itself as a preferred hub, and NTT’s new campus aligns with state-level digital infrastructure initiatives that include power-modernisation programmes and streamlined development clearances for large facilities.

Industry analysts said Bengaluru’s north corridor, particularly areas around the airport, is emerging as a strategic cluster for hyperscale builds due to improved land availability, strengthened grid connectivity and proximity to major enterprise zones. NTT’s investment adds further momentum to this shift and is expected to draw ancillary development in fibre, energy and construction services over the next several years.

NTT has indicated that additional phases of construction will proceed in line with demand from cloud, AI and enterprise customers. The company framed the project as a foundational component of its India growth strategy, reinforcing its broader ambition to scale high-density, energy-efficient data centres across key markets worldwide.
