Maharashtra Partners with Lodha for Rs 4bn Green Data Centre Park

12 Sep 2025 CW Team

The project, with a proposed investment of Rs 4 billion, aims to establish Maharashtra as a hub for sustainable, large-scale data centre operations.

The park will span 370 acres in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and will have a planned capacity of 2 gigawatts, designed to host multiple leading international and domestic players. The initiative is expected to generate nearly 6,000 direct and indirect jobs, with Lodha Developers acting as the master developer and various data centre operators establishing facilities within the park.

This development follows the introduction of Maharashtra’s Green Integrated Data Centre Parks policy in October 2024. The policy mandates that data centres—known for their high energy consumption—operate using renewable and alternative energy sources. Under the programme, three such parks will be established across MMR to meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure, driven by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the rapid adoption of digital services.

Maharashtra had earlier designated data centres as a “thrust area” for industrial growth in 2019, emphasising its commitment to attracting investment in the sector. The new partnership with Lodha Developers reinforces that vision while aligning with India’s broader sustainability goals.

Abhishek Lodha, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of Lodha Developers Ltd, said the collaboration reflects the company’s focus on green growth. “The Green Integrated Data Centre Parks policy will not only create employment opportunities and boost the economy but will also operate on clean and green energy sources benefiting generations. At Lodha, we are aiming for net zero across our operations in the coming years and are committed to the success of this initiative,” he said.

The MoU highlights Maharashtra’s ambition to become a global destination for data centre investments by combining industrial growth with sustainability, ensuring the state remains at the forefront of the digital economy.
