Sify Technologies initiated a groundbreaking project with the first phase of a data center campus at Sipcot IT Park, Siruseri, strategically located south of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. When the full campus is complete, it will boast a capacity exceeding 130MW. Initially, ‘Tower B’ offers a significant 43MW capacity, starting operations with 26MW, designed to support high rack density applications up to 130kW. This development includes an open cable landing station, catering to comprehensive digital needs. The data center campus received a substantial investment of Rs 1,882 crore, equivalent to $221 million, for the first tower, with the total project surpassing Rs 10,000 crore, approximately $1.1 billion. This investment underscores Sify’s commitment to solidify its role in India’s growing digital infrastructure needs, with a strong emphasis on renewable energy solutions, aiming for 60 percent reliance initially and eventually transitioning to total reliance on renewables through strategic power purchase agreements.
