AgenciesBrookfield Asset Management’s flagship listed infrastructure company Brookfield Infrastructure and NYSE-listed Digital Realty are planning to jointly invest more than $2 billion to develop, own and operate institutional data centers across India, top industry executives told ET.
Digital Realty, a real estate , and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. have entered into a 50:50 partnership for this India-specific venture.
The joint venture will operate under the brand name BAM Digital Realty.
“Both the partners are bullish about growth in India and an investment upward of $2 billion has been planned to begin with,” said one of the executives cited above.
Brookfield confirmed the alliance with Digital Realty, the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation and interconnection solutions.
However, it declined to comment on the proposed investments.
“India is a rapidly emerging data center market and offers a bright future, with accelerating adoption of digital business models among a population that recognizes the role of technology for future economic development,” said A. William Stein, CEO, Digital Realty.
BAM Digital Realty intends to acquire land parcels in multiple Indian metros for the development of data center campuses to support the needs of global hyperscale service providers and international and local enterprises.
The joint venture expects to design, build and operate sustainable facilities, drawing upon the firms’ broader commitments to sustainable operations, including carbon reduction initiatives.
