Johor will become a 370MW region for PDG with the addition of 200MW.
Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has acquired powered land for 500MW capacity expansion in key markets across Asia.
Singapore-headquartered PDG has a pan-Asia data centre portfolio in six countries: India, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan. The company says it serves the AI and cloud needs of the world’s largest technology companies across all these markets.
The 500 MW of land and power – in India, Malaysia and Indonesia – further deepens the company’s strategic partnership with hyperscalers for their AI infrastructure expansion and will drive a US$5 billion investment programme for PDG.
The capacity, occupying over 88 acres, is across Mumbai and Chennai in India, Johor, a state in southern Malaysia linked to Singapore by causeways, and Jakarta, capital of Indonesia.
Naturally the Indian press is focused on the Princeton Digital Group’s plans to pump US$1billion into India for AI-ready data centres. It reports that the expansion will make PDG’s flagship MU1 one of the largest operational campuses in Mumbai with the addition of three new buildings that will triple the campus’s existing capacity to 150 MW. The first phase of the 100MW expansion is scheduled for delivery in 2026. Upon completion, MU1 will occupy about 15 acres of land.

Vipin Shirsat, Managing Director of PDG India, says: “Mumbai and Chennai have been the pre-eminent hubs for cloud infrastructure in India due the combination of submarine cable landing proximity, high-quality power supply, availability of renewable energy and robust infrastructure development. With the advent of AI in India, both locations are well-positioned to become leading AI infrastructure hubs as well.”
Johor will become a 370MW region for PDG with the addition of 200MW. The expansion also includes a 100MW site in Jakarta. These would be among the largest AI-ready campuses in those regions.
