New facility to deliver high‑density, sustainable infrastructure as India accelerates into the AI era
Iron Mountain has officially broken ground on a new hyperscale data center campus in Mumbai, marking a major expansion of its AI‑ready digital infrastructure footprint in India. Announced on 16 January 2026, the campus will support high‑density, compute‑intensive workloads with a planned IT load capacity of 85 megawatts (MW). The site is expected to become operational in 2027.
Designed to meet the escalating demands of global hyperscalers and AI‑driven enterprises, the new facility integrates specialized cooling systems and power delivery optimised for next‑generation compute environments. The campus also draws on Iron Mountain’s global experience in delivering secure, sustainable and carrier‑neutral data center environments.

The Mumbai site is engineered for industries with stringent regulatory requirements, offering compliance with HIPAA, FISMA and ISO standards. In line with Iron Mountain’s long‑standing sustainability commitments, the facility will operate with 100% renewable energy matching through the company’s Green Power Pass — enabling customers to advance their own ESG targets seamlessly.
Rajesh Tapadia, CEO of Iron Mountain Data Centers India, described the development as a strategic milestone in the company’s India roadmap. “This 85MW Mumbai campus is a definitive statement of our commitment to provide the scale, speed‑to‑market, and sustainable excellence that global hyperscalers customers demand,” he said. “We’re building the infrastructure that supports India’s AI revolution.”
The expansion comes at a time when India’s cloud, AI and digital services sectors are seeing unprecedented demand for high‑density computing environments. Iron Mountain currently operates facilities in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Noida, with new campuses underway in Chennai and Noida. With the addition of the Mumbai hyperscale campus, the company is on track to scale its Indian data center portfolio toward 152MW of total potential capacity.
The new development reinforces India’s role as a critical hub for global cloud and AI infrastructure growth, positioning Iron Mountain as one of the key players enabling this next wave of digital acceleration.
