India's RMZ Plans to Expand Data Center Capacity to 2-3 GW in Five Years
India's diversified real estate and investment company RMZ plans to expand its data center capacity to 2 to 3 gigawatts over the next five years as part of a $35 billion investment plan.
RMZ currently has a capacity of 250 megawatts and is advancing three projects to exceed 1 gigawatt, with plans to acquire land by the end of the year to support the future 2 gigawatts capacity.
The demand for data centers is surging, with sellers (operators like RMZ) accelerating expansion, while AI and cloud services drive capital inflow into India's infrastructure, shifting the global supply chain towards emerging markets.

RMZ, headquartered in Bangalore, has a long-term strategy in real estate and infrastructure. This large-scale expansion of data centers continues India's advantage as a global IT and AI outsourcing hub, similar to the investment wave from other local and international operators in India.
In terms of capital strategy, RMZ is mobilizing land, construction, and operational resources through the $35 billion plan, motivated by the explosive demand for AI training and cloud services, aiming to secure long-term stable cash flow.
Similar to the data center strategies of Indian groups like Adani and Reliance, the Asian data center market is currently in a capacity competition phase, and RMZ's move strengthens its regional competitiveness.
Essentially, this represents capital concentration, driven by the demand for AI computing power that fuels infrastructure investment, with pricing power shifting to local operators who possess land and execution capabilities, driving the restructuring of India's data center industry chain.
