NTT DATA is reinforcing its commitment to India with a series of strategic initiatives, including the commissioning of an 8,100-kilometer submarine cable system by June 2025.
The Malaysia, India, Singapore Transit (MIST) cable system, capable of carrying over 200 terabits per second, will be NTT DATA’s first direct connectivity project to and from India. The cable was connected to the company’s Mumbai and Chennai landing stations in 2023.
The global digital services provider has also opened its largest data center campus in India, a facility designed to hold over 500 megawatts of power when fully operational. Nearly two-thirds of the company’s Indian data centers already run on renewable energy, with a commitment to reach 100% by 2030.
“Our USD 3 billion investment in India’s digital infrastructure over the last decade reflects our confidence in the region’s exceptional talent and robust tech ecosystem,” said Abhijit Dubey, CEO of NTT DATA, Inc.
As the third-largest data center provider globally and the largest in India, NTT DATA plans to add 400 MW more capacity in the coming years. The company is also upgrading its Innovation Centre in Bengaluru to focus on AI, digital twin, and quantum computing projects.
NTT is investing 8 trillion yen (US$59 billion) globally over five years through 2027 into growth areas, including data centers and AI solutions.
