STTGDC opens 22MW Noida data center; Neysa to install 9,000 GPUs

STTGDC has commissioned a 22MW data center in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, the company announced last week. The facility, STTGDC NOI2, expands the operator's Delhi NCR campus to 39MW of live capacity, with a third building already under construction.

The launch adds to a site the company first targeted in 2021, when it announced plans to develop in Noida. NOI1 delivers 17MW; NOI3, now in development, will add 28MW when complete.

Who is taking the capacity?

Indian neocloud Neysa has agreed to lease space in NOI2 and will place approximately 9,000 GPUs in the facility. The deployment anchors the new building around AI compute demand rather than traditional enterprise colocation alone.

Bimal Khandelwal, CEO for India at STTGDC, framed the launch around workload growth. He said: "India's continued digital growth and increasing adoption of AI are creating demand for infrastructure that can support larger, more complex, and more compute-intensive workloads."

Khandelwal said NOI2 "strengthens our capacity in one of the country's most important digital infrastructure markets and reflects our commitment to investing ahead of customer demand."

How large is STTGDC's India platform?

The India division operates more than 600MW of critical IT load, in operation and in development combined, spread across 34 facilities in ten cities.

The Noida campus therefore represents a mid-sized share of that national footprint, but sits in one of its most contested markets. Delhi NCR competes with Mumbai and Chennai for hyperscale and AI-related deployments in northern India.

Khandelwal positioned the investment in the company's longer-term build-out. He said: "By expanding our Delhi NCR platform, we are giving customers access to resilient, well-connected infrastructure with the scale and operational capabilities they need to grow with confidence."

He added: "This investment is an important part of our long-term strategy to build the digital infrastructure that will support India's next phase of cloud and AI-led growth."

What changed at the top of the company?

The launch is the first major Indian capacity announcement since STTGDC changed ownership. Investment firm KKR and Singaporean telecoms operator Singtel fully acquired the company from ST Telemedia in February.

The company has since rebranded from STT GDC to STTGDC. The Noida opening marks a concrete output of that ownership transition: 22MW delivered, 9,000 GPUs committed, and 28MW more queued behind them.
