Sify Infinit Spaces, a data centre provider based in Chennai, inaugurated its AI-ready data centre campus in Sipcot Siruseri, which is now the largest in South India. The company has already invested ₹1,882 crore in Tamil Nadu, making good progress on its ₹2,500 crore promise from last year’s investor meeting.
As India’s sole data centre with an on-site open cable landing station, this facility offers improved global connectivity and network performance, with an eventual capacity of 130 MW.
Sify plans to power its Siruseri data centre with renewable energy and use sustainable building practices to create a new benchmark for green digital infrastructure. The data centre’s four IGBC Green ratings highlight this commitment.
MK Stalin, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, inaugurated a key data centre facility, strengthening both India’s digital infrastructure and Tamil Nadu’s data centre strategy.
Raju Vegesna, Chairman and Managing Director of Sify Technologies, said, “With our cumulative investment now crossing Rs 10,000 crore from an initial commitment of Rs 2,500 crore, we are not only building digital infrastructure but also creating an ecosystem of opportunity”.
He said, “We envision generating employment for 10,000 people—direct and indirect—as this facility ramps up. This data centre isn’t just infrastructure—it’s a strategic digital gateway for enterprises and governments aiming to harness AI, cloud, and high-speed data solutions. We’re proud to support Tamil Nadu’s digital ambitions and to be part of India’s data-driven future”.
This new facility solidifies Sify’s leadership in India’s digital landscape. More than 10,000 businesses across 1,700+ Indian cities rely on Sify’s data centres, networks, and security. Sify also has an international presence in North America, the UK, and Singapore.
