ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (India) has announced plans open a new artificial intelligence (AI)-ready data centre campus in New Town, Kolkata, the primary financial and commercial centre of eastern and northeastern India, in the second quarter of 2025. The planned investment is said to be INR4.5 billion (aboutUS$52.7 million).

Spanning 5.59 acres, the campus is engineered to support the growing demands of AI computing with high-density rack configurations, advanced cooling systems, and a scalable, modular design, according to STT GDC.

It adds that the campus also provides a significant boost to digital infrastructure creation in the eastern part of the country, with a scalable capacity of up to 25MW in terms of overall IT load.

Bimal Khandelwal, chief executive officer (CEO) of STT GDC India, explains: “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 Economic Times news service points out that the Kolkata facility expands STT GDC India's nationwide footprint to 30 data centres across ten cities with a total IT load capacity of 390 MW.

It adds that its strategic location in New Town’s Silicon Valley positions it as a crucial hub for AI development, serving enterprises, hyperscale cloud service providers, and government organisations.
