Global data centre and telecommunications leader NTT has announced to invest Rs 2,000 crore in a hyperscale data centre in Kolkata in next few years, which is a part of the ongoing USD 2.5 billion total investment plan in India by NTT Ltd announced about two years ago. In the first phase, NTT plans to spend about Rs 500 crore depending on demand from the region.
“We plan to build three data centre buildings for hyperscale data centre in Kolkata site. The IT load capacity of the data centre will be at least 25MW, but considering the operational power requirement, it will be 40MW. The campus will be spread over 7.5 acres of land,” said Shekhar Sharma," CEO of NTT Global Data Center & Cloud Infrastructure India, after the Bhumi Pujan (groundbreaking) ceremony.
The Kolkata data centre campus spans 6,00,000 square feet. When fully built, Phase I will be 1,00,000 square feet. The company aims to have the data centre up and running in 12 to 15 months.
NTT’s USD 2.5 billion capex will be in new data centres, cloud computing, submarine cable landing stations and solar parks.
West Bengal IT Secretary Rajeev Kumar said several companies had expressed interest in setting up data centres at Bengal Silicon Valley Tech Hub in New Town near Kolkata. A preferential open access policy for data centres is underway to boost the sector.
The controller of Bengal Silicon Valley Tech Hub WBHIDCO (West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation) Managing Director Debashish Sen said the state would support green energy in data centres and the government will promote it through policy support.
