en.Wedoany.com Reported - Asia-Pacific data center provider Digital Edge has acquired approximately 30 acres of land in Palava, near Mumbai, India, to build a 270MW data center project, with a transaction value of around INR 10 billion (USD 104 million). The site is located within the proposed Green Integrated Data Centre Park, and developer Lodha confirmed the deal in a press release issued on Friday, July 6.

Palava, located approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) northeast of Mumbai, is gradually emerging as a key data center hub in the region. Digital Edge, owned by New York-based private equity firm Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, currently operates over a dozen data centers across the Asia-Pacific region, some of which are already in service while others are under construction. The company first announced the project in January 2023 and began construction of a 300MW data center campus in Navi Mumbai in 2024. In February of this year, Digital Edge signed an 83MW solar power purchase agreement (PPA) with Hexa to support the first phase of its 350MW BOM campus in Navi Mumbai.
