Lodha Developers will invest an additional ₹1 lakh crore to build a 2.5 gigawatt data centre park. This comes on top of the ₹30,000 crore it had already committed to the state just four months ago.
In simple terms, a 2.5 gigawatt data centre park uses enough electricity to power around 2–2.5 million homes at the same time.
FYI, once completed, this will be India’s largest data centre park by both investment size and capacity.
Breaking it down: the company will build a massive campus filled with high-security buildings that store and process digital data.
These data centres will host servers for cloud companies, AI firms, banks, OTT platforms, e-commerce players, and global tech giants that need to store and process huge amounts of data in India.
Instead of selling apartments, Lodha will lease space long-term to these companies, earning stable rental income for decades, much like an infrastructure asset.
Big picture: Lodha isn’t just building homes anymore. Data centres are fast becoming the new-age real estate goldmine.
The nation’s installed capacity is projected to jump from 491 MW in 2020 to 8,300 MW by 2030. That’s nearly a 17x rise in a decade, driven by cloud computing, AI, streaming, fintech, and data localisation rules.
This sharp demand curve explains why players like Lodha are rushing in early capacity and are getting built now for the next digital boom.
