CtrlS Plans to Establish Datacenter Park on 40-Acre Land Near Hyderabad

24 Jan 2025 CW Team

According to industry analysts, India’s datacenter sector is experiencing rapid growth, with capacity projected to surpass 1,300 MW by the end of 2024 and reach 1,800 MW by 2026. This expansion is driven by digital transformation, cloud adoption, AI advancements, and data localization needs.

The CtrlS Chandanvelly Datacenter Park will feature multiple interconnected buildings, including high-density and ultra-high-density datacenters, designed to handle IT loads over 600 MW when fully developed. The buildings will support flexible ultra-high-density rack configurations, with up to 135 kW per rack, and immersion cooling systems capable of handling up to 300 kW per rack. Equipped with state-of-the-art cooling technologies, the facility aims to achieve an annual Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) between 1.12 and 1.32, with potential improvements through free cooling solutions. The campus will also incorporate solar module facades on both western and southern elevations, offering thermal regulation, green energy generation, and aesthetic benefits.

In phase 1, the facility has secured 250 MW of sanctioned power capacity, with plans to install a dedicated Gas Insulated Substation (GIS), expandable up to 900 MW, ensuring redundant power supply for uninterrupted operations. Additionally, the park will include mission-critical operation centers, administrative offices, and collaboration spaces for customers.

CtrlS Datacenters currently operates three facilities in Hyderabad—one in HITEC City and two in Financial District, Gachibowli. The city has become a premier hub for datacenters in India, with CBRE's Datacenter Trends report ranking Hyderabad as one of the fastest-growing datacenter markets in the country. Its status as a seismic zone-2 makes it particularly attractive for disaster recovery services.

With a nationwide presence, CtrlS Datacenters operates 250 MW of combined IT load across key tier-1 markets, including Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Noida, and Kolkata. The company also has Edge datacenter facilities in tier-2 markets like Patna and Lucknow, with further expansions planned for cities such as GIFT City (Ahmedabad), Bhubaneswar, and Guwahati.

Since its founding in 2007, CtrlS Datacenters has expanded to operate 15 data centers across eight key markets. The firm has also announced plans to explore international markets, with Thailand being its first foray into Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

CtrlS Datacenters plans to establish a new Datacenter Park on a 40-acre land parcel at the upcoming Chandanvelly Industrial Park near Hyderabad. This move is expected to significantly boost the company’s capacity and capabilities in the region. The campus, with a potential IT load capacity exceeding 600 MW, represents a major investment in Hyderabad’s datacenter landscape, which currently has an estimated operational capacity of 52 MW.
