Greenfield Datacenter to Generate 200 Jobs
India, April 28, 2025: CtrlS Datacenters Ltd, Asia’s largest Rated‑4 datacenter operator, announced a significant milestone with the virtual groundbreaking of its greenfield datacenter in Bhopal by the Honourable Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Mohan Yadav.
The ceremonial event took place during the Tech Growth Conclave 2025 on April 27 in Indore, where the Chief Minister virtually presided over the proceedings, demonstrating the State’s forward-looking approach to digital innovation.
The upcoming facility, situated on a 5-acre land parcel allotted by the Madhya Pradesh government in Badwai IT Park, represents a significant investment of Rs 500 Crore and is projected to generate around 200 jobs over its phased development. This strategic investment will boost the region’s digital ecosystem by supporting high‑performance cloud computing, AI, and data processing applications.
The datacenter’s establishment strategically aligns with Madhya Pradesh’s ambitious policy framework, including the IT, ITeS & ESDM Investment Promotion Policy 2023, offering up to a 25% capital expenditure subsidy and the Global Capability Centers Policy 2025, targeting 50+ global tech centers. These initiatives align with the State’s vision of achieving a $2 trillion economy by 2047 and position it as a leading destination for high-tech investments backed by world-class digital infrastructure.
Highlighting the importance of the milestone, Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Chairman of CtrlS Datacenters, said, “Our significant investment in this facility is a testament to our commitment to driving India’s digital future transformation. We chose Madhya Pradesh for its visionary leadership in fostering an enabling business and policy environment, a strategic location that can act as a digital crossroads for Central India and untapped potential as a technology talent hub. Our upcoming datacenter is designed not only for today’s needs but also as a foundation for future technologies that will drive enterprise innovation and elevate the State’s digital capabilities.”
The AI-ready datacenter will feature state-of-the-art infrastructure, including advanced cooling and security systems. At full capacity, the datacenter is projected to generate an annual State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) of Rs 7.5 crore and a Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) of Rs 7.5 crore.
The facility’s cutting-edge capabilities will ensure 24/7 operational reliability and high uptime, establishing the facility as a critical node within the region’s digital ecosystem.
