Hiranandani Group-backed data centre and cloud services firm Yotta Data Services is adding two new buildings to its ‘D1’ data centre in Greater Noida, while also commencing work on an ‘edge’ data centre in Guwahati. Both the planned expansions will be completed and made operational by mid- or end-2024, said Yotta chief executive Sunil Gupta in an interview with Mint.

"The Yotta-D1 data centre is 85% full right now, and we’re now building D2 and D3 already. The full capacity will have six full-scale buildings. Construction is currently ongoing for our D2 and D3 facilities, and D2’s racks will go live in July or August itself," Gupta said.

The executive added that the Uttar Pradesh government has offered critical sops to Yotta to facilitate its data centre operations in the National Capital Region—the first such facility for Yotta in north India. "We’ve had to set up a 220kV substation on-campus to fulfill our power consumption requirements. It has taken us 18 months to lay down the requisite power lines for this, but we’ve been supported by the UP government to get it."
