AirTrunk, a hyperscale data center specialist backed by Blackstone, has announced plans to invest over ₹3 lakh crore (approximately $30 billion) in India by 2030. This investment will focus on building digital infrastructure, particularly in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI), and aims to develop 5GW of data center capacity. The announcement follows a meeting between AirTrunk's Founder and CEO, Robin Khuda, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking the company's first significant engagement with the Indian government since acquiring Lumina CloudInfra in April 2023. Khuda also met with various federal representatives and state ministers in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh to discuss collaborative efforts to accelerate investment in cloud and AI infrastructure. This initiative is expected to position India as a global destination for digital services, contributing to economic growth and job creation. AirTrunk's investment aligns with India's ambitious digital growth strategy, supported by government initiatives like Digital India and the IndiaAI Mission.
