NTT is already building/developing a 6-acre data center campus in Chennai and the whole building is expected to go live by November 2023. The company has similar plans for Noida too where it is again building a 6-acre facility. The Noida campus is expected to go live by February 2023.
All of these data centers are part of the $2 billion investment that NTT had earmarked in 2020 for scaling its infrastructure capacity.
