Yotta NM2: 65MW High-Density Tier IV Data Center, Panvel
Status: Fully Operational / Advanced Compute Shell Upgrades Active (June 2026) | Location: Hiranandani Fortune City, Bhokarpada, Maharashtra
Project Overview
Standing as the large-scale companion facility to Yotta NM1 within the Panvel mega-campus, Yotta NM2 represents the next phase in the expansion of India's sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure. Purpose-built to accommodate the growing demands of enterprises, cloud service providers, and AI-driven organizations, the facility is engineered to support wholesale enterprise colocation services and hyperscale cloud deployments at scale. With the capacity to host up to 9,000 additional racks, NM2 significantly expands the overall capabilities of the Navi Mumbai Data Center Park, enabling organizations to deploy and scale critical digital workloads efficiently. Operating in close alignment with the campus's broader Shakti Cloud AI framework, the facility serves as an integral component of Yotta's next-generation computing ecosystem. Its architecture is designed to enable direct, ultra-low-latency connectivity with nearby high-performance GPU clusters, supporting seamless data movement and accelerated computing operations. The facility is optimized for demanding enterprise applications, large-scale data processing, AI model training and fine-tuning, machine learning workloads, and complex financial-sector database operations that require high availability, security, and performance. Advanced power distribution systems, resilient cooling infrastructure, comprehensive security controls, and highly redundant network connectivity ensure reliable operations and uninterrupted service delivery. By combining hyperscale capacity, AI-ready infrastructure, and seamless integration with the larger Panvel campus ecosystem, Yotta NM2 plays a critical role in strengthening India's digital infrastructure landscape. The facility provides a scalable and future-ready foundation for cloud computing, advanced analytics, enterprise transformation initiatives, and next-generation artificial intelligence applications, supporting the country's growing need for secure, high-performance, and sovereign digital infrastructure.
