The company has acquired a five-acre plot in New Town Rajarhat area of Kolkata. This plot will house four buildings. The first data centre building, with a 16MW IT load capacity and a built-up area of over 90,000 square feet, is expected to be operational in two months.
Suresh Kumar Rathod, President of Colocation Business at CtrlS Datacenters, stated that the IT load capacity of the entire campus could increase to between 60 and 100MW. He mentioned that four to five service providers are building data centres in the New Town area. CtrlS will be the first to go live in two months. The first customer is an “American giant.”
According to the company, this will be the first Rated-4 data centre in East India. The data centre will be AI-ready with provisions for high-density racks. It will feature modern cooling technologies and aim for LEED Platinum certification.
