NTT Inaugurates New Data Centre Campus in Bengaluru

Japanese multinational tech giant NTT Global Data Centres is expanding its data centre footprint in Karnataka.

It announced a new data centre campus in Devanahalli, with the first facility scheduled to be operational from December 3. 

The data centre is designed for a total IT load of over 67.2 MW within a larger 100 MW project footprint.

The announcement took place at the ‘Karnataka: The Destination for Futuristic Data Centres – Sustainability, Scalability, Security’ event hosted by The Associated Chambers of Commerce & Industry of India (ASSOCHAM). 

Alok Bajpai, managing director of NTT Data India, said the development marks one of the company’s most important milestones in the state.

NTT’s fourth Bengaluru facility—its newest data centre in Devanahalli—is situated on an 18-acre campus, with the first building going live immediately and a marquee Bengaluru-based customer scheduled to be onboarded this month, according to Bajpai. 

Calling it a “large campus”, Bajpai emphasised its strategic importance in the company’s national expansion plans.

He said NTT has already invested about ₹1,700 crore in Bengaluru’s data centre operations and has committed an additional ₹2,400 crore for the new Devanahalli campus.

NTT’s Bengaluru footprint now has four data centres: the DC2, DC3 and the DC3X, along with the new one in Devenahalli. 

Across India, NTT’s footprint covers West (Mumbai/Navi Mumbai), North (Delhi NCR/Noida), South (Bengaluru, Chennai) and East (Kolkata).

Bajpai, outlining NTT’s current India footprint, said, “We have almost 400 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity, which is live, and there is another 200 MW under construction and development.”

“In India, we are the number one global data centre provider with about 22 live data centres and a couple of them under construction right now.”

According to a Cushman & Wakefield report from October 2025, Bengaluru hosts 15 data centres with an operational capacity of 76 MW. The new NTT inauguration significantly boosts data centre capacity in Bengaluru.

At the same event, Sunil Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Yotta, positioned Karnataka as the state best placed to lead India’s AI and high-performance computing transition. 

He said the state is evolving from being the country’s IT nerve centre to potentially becoming “India’s large compute capital”.

“The Karnataka IT Policy 2025-30, backed by over ₹967 crore in strategic incentives, sets the stage for this transition from IT capital to compute capital and reinforces the state’s commitment to building the digital backbone of the future,” Gupta said.

He added that, with its progressive data centre policy, strong renewable energy ecosystem and deep talent pool, Karnataka is now positioned to become India’s AI and green hyperscale data centre capital.
