BDx Data Centers has broken ground on its AI Campus 2 (CGK4) in Jatiluhur, West Java, Indonesia.

The company – a joint venture of BDx Data Centers, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, and Lintasarta – this week announced that work has now begun on the 640MW AI data center campus.

The first 120MW building is expected to enter service in early 2027. It will be the first of six planned buildings at the site.

The company said that the facility is being built with a direct-to-chip liquid-cooling architecture engineered to support up to 500kW per rack for current and future AI accelerator generations.

BDx previously launched a data center campus in Jatiluhur, Indonesia, back in 2024.

Construction of the data center began a few months after BDx struck a number of power agreements across Indonesia with electrical utility PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). In total, BDx secured 1.2GW of power from the utility, the single largest power commitment secured by any data center operator in Indonesia.

This campus is backed by 845MVA of grid capacity, noted the company. BDx said it expects to develop CGK4 over the next three years, with buildings commissioned sequentially to support accelerating demand for high-density AI capacity.

Last year, CGK4 achieved certification under the Nvidia DGX-Ready Colocation Data Center program. The site is located approximately five kilometers from the Jatiluhur Dam.

"Indonesia is entering a new phase of digital and AI development, and CGK4 is a long-term investment in the infrastructure that phase requires. It anchors a growing AI ecosystem in West Java: scalable, high-density capacity built to bring advanced AI workloads into production faster, with a reliable path for customers as demand grows," said Mayank Srivastava, chief executive officer, BDx Data Centers.

"This is a practical step forward for Indonesia's digital economy. We are putting sovereign, high-density AI infrastructure in place with our national partners. It allows local enterprises, government agencies, and developers to run advanced AI workloads domestically while creating skilled jobs and long-term value in West Java," added Agus Hartono Wijaya, chief executive officer, BDx Indonesia.

BDx was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Singapore. It has an extensive portfolio of data centers and Edge facilities across APAC, including Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan. The company is seeking to grow its portfolio across APAC to 1GW, and last year announced that it had secured funding for its first hyperscale data center project in Hong Kong.

It broke ground on CGK3A in 2023. Located in the TB Simatupang area of South Jakarta, the facility is set to span 14,125 sqm (152,000 sq ft). The existing CGK3 offers 2MW across 1,200 sqm (12,915 sq ft) of white space.

In July 2024, BDx completed phase one of its 500MW CGK4 campus, with the initial phase offering 70MW. According to BDx, the data center is one of the first in Indonesia to have Nvidia DGX-Ready certification.

BDx is currently developing its CGK5 data center in Karawang, east of Jakarta. The project is expected to have a capacity of 100MW at full buildout. The project completion date has not been shared.
