The Adani Group, a titan of Indian industry, has made a decisive move to solidify its presence in the burgeoning data center market. Through its subsidiary Terravista Developers, the Adani Group has acquired the leasehold rights to a substantial 25-acre land parcel in Pune’s Haveli locality. This strategic land acquisition, valued at approximately Rs 471 crore, paves the way for the development of a large-scale data center in the key Pune market.
AdaniConneX Poised to Become a Hyperscale Powerhouse
This move aligns perfectly with the Adani Group’s ambitious plans to establish a nationwide network of data centers via its joint venture, AdaniConneX. Formed in February 2021 through a strategic 50:50 partnership with EdgeConneX, a US-based leader in data center solutions, AdaniConneX is poised to become a major force in the Indian data center landscape. The joint venture has its sights set on establishing a network of hyperscale data centers across India, with Pune joining Chennai, Navi Mumbai, Noida, Vizag, and Hyderabad in its initial target markets. With an eye on the future, AdaniConneX boasts ambitious plans to develop a staggering 1 GW of data center capacity in India over the next decade.
Pune: A Flourishing Hub for Data Storage
The Adani Group’s land acquisition underscores Pune’s emergence as a major data center hub. The city’s strategic location – well-connected to major economic centers – combined with its robust infrastructure and burgeoning IT industry, make it a prime target for data center development. AdaniConneX’s entry into the Pune market will undoubtedly intensify competition, offering businesses a wider range of data center options and potentially driving down prices – a win-win scenario for both businesses and consumers.
A Well-Positioned Player in the Data Center Arena
The Adani Group’s land acquisition in Pune signifies its unwavering commitment to becoming a prominent player in the Indian data center sector. By leveraging EdgeConneX’s global expertise in data center design and operations, coupled with the Adani Group’s vast resources and established presence in the Indian market, AdaniConneX is well-positioned to capitalize on India’s rapidly growing data storage needs. As the data center market in India continues its meteoric rise, it will be intriguing to see how AdaniConneX navigates the competitive landscape and establishes itself as a key player in this critical industry.
