Global digital infrastructure company Equinix has announced its plans to develop a $42m data centre, named MB4, in Mumbai, India.

This new facility is expected to enable both local and international enterprises to increase their digital capacity.

According to real estate and investment manager JLL, the domestic data centre market of the country attained 637MW in the first half of 2022 and is predicted to reach 1,318MW by next year.

According to this year’s Equinix Global Tech Trends Survey, 85% of IT leaders in India are considering boosting their expenditure on connectivity in the next year.

MB4 is set to expand Equinix’s digital infrastructure capacity in India to address the rising demand for data centres and interconnection services among businesses.
