Sify Infinit Spaces Limited has announced the inauguration of South India’s largest AI-ready data center campus in Siruseri, Tamil Nadu by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Thiru M. K. Stalin.
The CM later shared on social media, “This futuristic centre reinforces Tamil Nadu’s position as the preferred destination for global digital infrastructure.”
Aligned with the Tamil Nadu Government’s vision of positioning the state as a preferred data center destination, this facility marks a significant milestone in India’s digital infrastructure journey. This platinum-rated Green Data Center reaffirms Sify’s deep commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
Industries Minister T R B Rajaa, who was also part of the launch, said the inaugurated facility is the first of three towers that Sify plans to construct, with this initial tower developed at a cost of Rs 1,882 crore.
“This facility is also the first in India to receive the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Centre certification, built from the ground up to power the next generation of AI workloads,” he said.
The MoU for the data centre was signed during the Global Investors Meet in January 2024. With the coming up of this facility, it is expected to create over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, according to Sify.
Designed as a large-scale digital facility, the data centre will eventually deliver up to 130 MW of power for IT operations—60% of which will be sourced from renewable energy such as wind and solar. It also features an open cable landing station, said to be the only one of its kind in India, integrated within the data centre campus. This is expected to significantly boost global connectivity and support high-volume applications.
