Equipped with Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling, the facility enables efficient thermal management for advanced AI workloads while ensuring scalability, resilience and sustainability.
Designed with sustainability at its core, the data centre will drive India’s digital future through low-carbon operations by integrating renewable energy. “Digital infrastructure is the bedrock of national progress. Through L&T Vyoma, we are leveraging our engineering heritage to build a sovereign, sustainable digital ecosystem that ensures India’s growth is powered by world-class, indigenous capabilities. Our new Navi Mumbai facility embodies our vision of ‘Vyoma’ — limitless, intelligent and sustainable AI ready digital growth”, said Mr R Shankar Raman, President, Whole-time Director & CFO, L&T.
Mr Prashant Chiranjive Jain, Head – Corporate Centre, L&T, added: “Navi Mumbai is a strategic hub for India’s digital economy. This groundbreaking sets a new benchmark for AI-ready infrastructure, delivering the demanding performance requirements of Generative AI while remaining firmly anchored in sustainable, low-carbon operations”.
The Mahape data centre represents a strategic addition to L&T Vyoma’s colocation and build-to-suit portfolio, delivering secure, resilient and future-ready digital infrastructure. This development reinforces L&T Vyoma’s three-pillar data centre strategy: hyperscale-ready campuses for global cloud providers, AI-centric infrastructure supporting the AI ecosystem and sovereign cloud requirements, and a comprehensive colocation and build-to-suit offering complemented by edge and disaster recovery solutions.
The Mahape data centre is a cornerstone of L&T Vyoma’s national expansion roadmap, which targets over 200 MW of capacity across India. This encompasses key digital hubs including Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, anchoring India’s digital growth in innovation, resilience and environmental responsibility.
