## In short

AirTrunk plans US$30B and 5+ gigawatts of Indian data center capacity by 2030, anchored by a 3GW campus at Raigad Penn Growth Centre and a 600MW pipeline picked up from its April Lumina CloudInfra deal.

## What it is

AirTrunk is a Blackstone-backed Asia-Pacific hyperscale data center operator. Its new India plan commits US$30B and more than 5 gigawatts of capacity by 2030, anchored by a 3GW campus at the Raigad Penn Growth Centre on Mumbai's outskirts, where the Maharashtra government has signed a letter of intent on land allotment.

## How it works

The build sits on top of the 600MW Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad development pipeline AirTrunk inherited from its April Lumina CloudInfra acquisition. Sites are designed for hyperscale AI training and inference customers, with new land secured through state-level letters of intent rather than greenfield permitting from scratch.

## Why it matters

If executed, the program is among the largest digital infrastructure commitments in India's history and a sign that the AI capex wave that has been concentrated in the US, Northern Europe, and Singapore is now flowing into South Asia at hyperscale scale.

## Who it's for

AI infra investors, hyperscaler capacity planners, India tech policy watchers
