Indian data center firm RackBank has broken ground on a campus in Nava Raipur.
The city is located east of Raipur, the capital city of the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh.
Spanning 13.5 acres, the development will be Chhattisgarh’s first data center campus.
RackBank stated that the facility will be built in four phases. The first will offer 80MW of capacity, and will be capable of running 100,000 GPUs. It will offer 160MW of capacity at full build-out. The facility will use liquid immersion cooling solutions provided by RackBank itself.
A development timeline was not provided.
According to the Times of India, the facility will be located in a newly built, 2.7 hectare Special Economic Zone (SEZ) for AI-based services. SEZs provide incentives and exemptions to encourage investment.
The company stated that the facility was built on an initial investment of Rs 1000 crore ($12m), scalable to Rs 3000 crore ($36m) within five years.
Narendra Sen, CEO of RackBank, said: “The new facility will provide greater cost efficiencies to businesses by scaling and leveraging India’s GPU compute capacity to meet India’s AI needs.”
The company provides data center infrastructure, cloud computing, and AI services. They currently operate a colocation facility in Indore and a hyperscale facility in Chennai, and facilities in Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Noida are currently in development.
