Sify Infinit Spaces Limited, a data centre provider based in Chennai, officially opened its new data centre campus in Sipcot Siruseri, Chennai, on Thursday. The facility was inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and is touted as the largest artificial intelligence-ready data centre campus in South India.
With a planned capacity of 130 MW, this data centre is unique in India for having an on-site open cable landing station, which enhances global connectivity and network performance. In line with its long-term environmental objectives, Sify intends to operate the Siruseri data centre entirely on renewable energy and implement sustainable building management practices, establishing a new standard for eco-friendly digital infrastructure, as stated in a release.
Raju Vegesna, Chairman and Managing Director of Sify Technologies Ltd, in his address, spoke about the company’s long-term commitment to India’s digital economy. “With our cumulative investment now crossing ₹10,000 crore from an initial commitment of 2,500 crore, we are not only building digital infrastructure but also creating an ecosystem of opportunity. We envision generating employment for 10,000 people-both direct and indirect-as this facility ramps up,” he said.
Total investment in the campus will be around 10,000 crore with Sify investing ₹2,500 crore and rest from the partners like hyperscalers, Vegesna told Media.
