With the addition of Mumbai data centre, NTT’s data center division India currently operates with 10 data centres across four major cities with over 1.5 million sq. ft. and over 150MW of power.

The company plans to double its capacity in the next 2-3 years to strengthen its ICT solutions and support the digital transformations of customers in India.
