The Maharashtra government has signed an MoU with Lodha Developers to set up a Green Integrated Data Centre Park in Palava City, Dombivli, near Mumbai. Spread across 370 acres in Ambernath, Thane, the project will have a planned 2-gigawatt capacity and attract INR 30,000 crore in investment. The park will host leading domestic and global data centre companies, creating around 6,000 jobs. Part of Maharashtra's Green Data Centre Parks policy, the facility will run on renewable and alternative energy. With India's data centre capacity projected to rise from 8.3 GW to 20-25 GW by 2030, this project strengthens Mumbai's position as a key hub for digital and clean energy infrastructure.
The Maharashtra government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lodha Developers to develop a Green Integrated Data Centre Park in Palava City, Dombivli, near Mumbai. The facility will be spread over 370 acres in Ambernath, Thane district, with a planned capacity of 2 gigawatts. The total investment under the project is estimated at INR 30,000 crore. Advertisement
The park is expected to host multiple leading international and domestic data centre companies. Together, Lodha and other participating firms will develop the infrastructure under the government's policy framework, while creating around 6,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
The initiative follows the Maharashtra government's Green Integrated Data Centre Parks policy, introduced last year, which requires energy-intensive facilities to use renewable and alternative energy sources. Integrated Data Centres were first declared a 'thrust area' for industrial growth in 2019. Demand for such infrastructure has increased rapidly due to cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital services. Three such green data centre parks are planned in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region under this policy.
The data centre sector in India is expanding quickly, with Mumbai and Pune emerging as major hubs. The country currently has an installed capacity of around 8.3 gigawatts, which is expected to grow to 20-25 gigawatts by 2030. Projects like this are expected to support the growth of cloud and digital services, promote clean energy use, and encourage more technology-driven infrastructure investment in the country.
