ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) has launched a new data center in Kolkata, India.

STT GDC India last week announced the launch of a data center campus in New Town, in the West Bengal city of Kolkata.

Spanning 5.59 acres, the campus can support up to 25MW. In the first phase, the two-story STT Kolkata 2 totals 6MW across 243,500 sq ft (22,620 sqm).

The company said the campus can support AI computing with high-density rack configurations, advanced cooling systems, and has a scalable, modular design.

Bimal Khandelwal, CEO of STT GDC India, said: "This expansion is a gateway to accelerating AI innovation in Eastern India. Our Kolkata campus is specifically designed to support the burgeoning AI ecosystem, from startups developing local language AI models to enterprises deploying large language models. The facility’s high-performance computing capabilities and low-latency connectivity will empower organizations to build and deploy AI solutions that drive digital transformation across sectors.”

STT GDC said the new site utilizes closed-loop cooling, rainwater harvesting, and greywater reuse. The facility also employs low-GWP refrigerants in its cooling system.

The company’s existing STT Kolkata 1 facility, live since 2009, totals 2.5MW across 70,565 sq ft (6,555 sqm) on a site in Ultadanga.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (India), a majority-owned subsidiary of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, has more than 400MW of critical IT load in operation and development across 30 facilities in 10 cities across India.

STT GDC has facilities across Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai, Noida, and Pune.
