|October 31, 2025
ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) plans to expand its data centre capacity sixfold to 200 MW from 32 MW as it bets big on India’s growing digital infrastructure demand.
The company has developed data centres in Panvel near Mumbai and Chennai, and there is a plan for another 30 MW in Mahape near Mumbai, and it plans to take it to nearly 200 MW, said R Shankar Raman, whole-time director and chief financial officer. According to industry experts, one MW of capacity requires spending of ₹50 crore to ₹70 crore, depending on the site; hence, 200 MW requires a minimum of ₹10,000 crore investment.
