Reliance Industries said on Monday it would invest up to Rs 1,000 crore in building data centres in the country along with Canada-based Brookfield Infrastructure.
The announcement comes at a time when data centre capacity in India is expected to rise exponentially as more people go online.
Reliance will initially invest about Rs 378 crore in units of Mercury Holdings SG Pte, which is a joint venture (JV) between Brookfield Infrastructure and US-based real estate investment trust Digital Realty.
The JV is currently building data centres in Chennai and Mumbai.
The Mukesh Ambani-owned company has committed to invest the remaining Rs 622 crore in equity and debt securities of the JV's units when needed.
Reliance will hold a 33.33 per cent stake in each of the Indian units of the JV and become an equal partner, it said, adding that the venture will be branded as Digital Connexion.
India's data centres market is expected to grow 40 per cent a year and draw USD 5 billion in investments by 2025 according to a report from investment bank Avendus Capital.
Indian data centre pace is also heating up with Reliance's entry as Adani Enterprises' JV had already raised USD 213 million to fund under-construction data centres.
