Colt Data Centre Services (DCS) has opened its first facility in India, the Navi Mumbai data centre.

“The first phase of the Mumbai data centre has commenced with 22 MW and an available capacity of 18 MW of IT power capacity. Further, we have aggressive plans to expand into major cities across India to cater to growing market demand,” said Pratap Mane, Country Head of India at Colt DCS.

The facility is capable of supporting a total capacity of 120 MW, and features a scalable design to facilitate emerging technologies such as generative AI and high performance computing.
