“This partnership will provide renewable energy sufficient to match the consumption of Equinix’s growing portfolio of data centers in Mumbai and support the nation’s renewable energy target,” Equinix said on Thursday. Once fully operational, this project will provide renewable energy coverage for Equinix’s International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers in Mumbai.
