Tata Communications’ data business is growing as the company adds to its data center capacity in India and Singapore, it said.

In financial statements Tata said its data business on track to grow to 47% of total gross revenue in FY 2014, up 2% on the previous financial year.

The company plans to expand its virtual private data center (VPDC) footprint in India to cope with the growing demand for internet services, according to the head of the company’s global enterprise business Sumeet Walia.

“We plan to expand our VPDC footprint to five or six locations in the India and the Asia Pacific regions to ensure that we have enough capacity for the enterprise customers in this region," Walia said.

Tata has a million square feet of data center and colocation space in 42 locations and was recently named a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader for global network service provision for the first time.

CEO Vinod Kumar recently commented that Tata’s “business mix is favourably trending towards a higher proportion of managed services and consumption by enterprise customers”, and earlier this week a consensus forecast in the Financial Times among 23 polled investment analysts covering Tata Communications advised the company will outperform the market.

Tata Communications’ full year financial results for 2013/14 are due to be published on May 13.
