The tied-up facility will finance two data centers with an aggregate capacity of 67 MW that includes ‘Chennai 1’ campus with Phase 1 of 17 MW and Noida campus of 50 MW.

Platform Infrastructure Financing through the Framework Agreement with international lenders will institutionalize the development agenda. Commitments from ING Bank N.V., Mizuho Bank, MUFG Bank, Natixis, Standard Chartered Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation support the facility’s development.

 Construction facility funds two data center projects in Chennai and Noida, offering customized enterprise colocation and hyperscale solutions.
