December 20, 2020
× The Adani Group will invest ₹2,500 crore to set up a ‘hyperscale’ data centre (DC) in Chennai, called Adani Chennai-1. The foundation stone for the project was laid last week, said government officials. It is expected to give a boost to the city’s attempts to become the country’s second major DC hub, after Mumbai.
Adani Chennai-1 DC will be located at the Siruseri IT Park that houses companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Cognizant and FSS Ltd. It will be the biggest hyperscale tier-3+ DC in Chennai with 32 MW IT load, and a one-stop-shop for the telecom and IT infrastructure needs of hyperscale customers, the Adani Group said. It will transform Chennai into South-East Asia’s DC hub, it added.
