New Delhi, NFAPost: Data centre services provider Web Werks announced plans to invest Rs 197 crore in a new hyper-scale data centre in Noida, with its joint venture partner Iron Mountain Data Centers.
The construction of the Noida data centre will commence this year with a gross power capacity of 20 MVA and will be live for its customers by 2023. Web Werks said it will be part of the data centre parks approved by the government with added investments to launch edge facilities in key cities in Uttar Pradesh.
Web Werks Founder & CEO Nikhil Rathi said the locational advantage of Uttar Pradesh has made the state attractive for investments in the IT and Electronic industry from many leading players, both Indian and global.
“The expanse of the state also makes it viable for Web Werks to scale up its investments and launch Edge facilities in key cities furthering its presence in the region,” said Web Werks Founder & CEO Nikhil Rathi.
In an official release, the Uttar Pradesh government said that Rs 19,928 crore will be allocated to establish seven data centres, and Rs 6,632 crore will be allocated for 13 infrastructure projects in the state.
Last year, Web Werks signed an MoU with the Government of Karnataka to set up a data center in Bengaluru. The company pegged an investment of Rs 750 crores in the project which would be fully operational in two years.
