Pi Data Centers Partners with JLL to Accelerate 23 MW National Expansion

Pi Data Centers in collaboration with JLL have launched the Phase I of its 3MW data center facility in Central Mumbai, which is set to go live in August 2026. JLL served as the exclusive advisor on the lease transaction for Pi’s first Mumbai facility and is advising on its 23MW expansion plan for Hyperscale AI-Ready, Colocation, and Cloud Data Center capacity.

With 11 years of operational excellence and a diverse portfolio of data centers in India serving over 600 customers across BFSI, Pharma, Healthcare, Retail, e-Commerce, Manufacturing, Payment Gateways, and Central and State Governments, Pi Data Centers’ strategic expansion into Central Mumbai, one of India’s most critical digital and financial hubs, represents a significant milestone in the company’s growth trajectory.

The new facility will complement Pi’s existing 60MW hyperscale capacity in Amaravati (the capital city of Andhra Pradesh) and another upcoming 3MW facility in Hyderabad slated for October 2026, further strengthening the company’s national footprint. The Mumbai facility is purpose-built to meet next-generation digital demands, enhancing Pi’s ability to serve Enterprises, Hyperscalers, and AI-driven businesses in key markets in India. With innovative infrastructure and future-ready design, the data center is engineered to deliver high availability, scalability, and operational resilience.  

Kalyan Muppaneni, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Pi Data Centers, said, “Our new Central Mumbai DC facility with 3MW is going live in Phase I out of our planned 23MW capacity expansion. This will play a crucial role in supporting India’s accelerating demand for Enterprises, AI-led transformation, Cloud Adoption and Data Localization. This capacity addition, alongside our existing 60MW infrastructure in Amaravati (AP) and another upcoming 3MW data center in Hyderabad in October 2026, enables us to deliver seamless, high-performance digital infrastructure across key regions. We remain committed to building future-ready, sustainable platforms that power India’s next wave of innovation, particularly in AI and Enterprise Cloud. Our presence across Mumbai, Amaravati and in Hyderabad allows us to uniquely combine low-latency access with large-scale capacity. This dual advantage positions Pi as the preferred partner for enterprises and hyperscale’s building resilient, AI-ready digital infrastructure in India.”  

Rachit Mohan, Managing Director – Data Center Leasing, APAC, JLL said, “India’s data centre industry has expanded at 24% CAGR since 2020, with annual absorption nearly doubling over five years. Strong demand from hyperscalers, BFSI, e-commerce, media and technology sectors has driven this growth. AI workloads, digitalisation and cloud services will accelerate momentum further. India is emerging as a global data centre hub, backed by cost competitiveness, adequate energy supply and stable governance. This transaction represents our deep understanding of what next-generation digital infrastructure demands: strategic location selection, future-ready scalability, and optimized efficiency designed specifically for the sophisticated needs of hyperscalers and enterprises.”  

According to JLL’s 2026 Global Data Center Outlook, 100 GW of new data centers will be added between 2026 and 2030, doubling global capacity. The global data center sector will expand at a 14% CAGR through 2030, which will require energy innovations to alleviate grid constraints. Hyperscalers will remain a key driver of sector growth, executing a dual strategy of leasing and self-building.
