NTT DATA has inaugurated its Bengaluru 4 (BLR4) Data Center Campus, expanding its digital infrastructure footprint in India amid growing demand for cloud services, artificial intelligence applications and high-density computing. Located near Kempegowda International Airport, the campus is designed as a hyperscale-ready facility with a planned total power capacity of 100 MW. The first phase, BLR4A, is now operational and provides 22.4 MW of critical IT load capacity. Once fully developed, the campus will comprise three data centres with a combined critical IT load of 67.2 MW. The project incorporates advanced cooling systems, carrier-neutral connectivity and a dedicated high-voltage power substation, while also securing IGBC Platinum certification for adherence to sustainability and green building standards.
NTT DATA has officially opened its Bengaluru 4 (BLR4) Data Center Campus in Bengaluru, marking a significant expansion of the company’s digital infrastructure platform in India. The facility, launched on Friday through the company’s Global Data Centers division, has been developed to address growing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence workloads and enterprise data processing requirements.
Located near Kempegowda International Airport within Bengaluru’s technology and innovation corridor, the new campus has been designed as a hyperscale-ready data centre facility capable of supporting large-scale digital infrastructure requirements. The development strengthens the city’s position as a key destination for data centre investments and digital infrastructure expansion.
According to the company, the campus is planned with a total facility load of 100 MW upon full completion. The development will comprise three data centres—BLR4A, BLR4B and BLR4C—with a combined critical IT load capacity of 67.2 MW.
The first phase of the project, BLR4A, has now become operational and provides 22.4 MW of critical IT load capacity. The campus is supported by a dedicated 220 kV gas-insulated substation, designed to ensure high levels of power availability and operational stability for data-intensive applications.
NTT DATA stated that the facility incorporates advanced cooling technologies, extensive physical and network security infrastructure, and carrier-neutral connectivity. These features are intended to support cloud adoption, artificial intelligence development, high-density computing environments and enterprise-scale digital operations.
Vimal Kaw, Country Managing Director, India, NTT Global Data Centers, stated that India is entering a period of accelerated digital growth and that the Bengaluru facility has been developed to meet increasing requirements for scale, speed and sustainability. He indicated that the project reflects the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening digital infrastructure and supporting enterprises operating within the country’s expanding digital economy.
Sustainability has been a key component of the campus design. The facility has received an Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Platinum Rating, recognising compliance with established green building and sustainability standards. The company stated that the campus incorporates high-efficiency cooling systems, optimised power utilisation measures and infrastructure capable of supporting renewable energy integration in the future.
The development forms part of NTT DATA’s broader strategy to expand its global network of data centres as demand for digital services continues to grow. India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets for data centre investments, driven by increasing internet usage, cloud adoption, digital transformation initiatives and the rapid growth of artificial intelligence applications.
NTT DATA, which provides technology and business services across global markets, operates in more than 70 countries and serves a significant share of Fortune Global 100 companies. The Bengaluru 4 campus adds to the company’s existing digital infrastructure portfolio in India and supports the increasing requirements of hyperscalers, cloud providers and enterprise customers seeking large-scale data centre capacity.
