Yotta Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Hiranandani Group, 7th July 2020 announced the opening of itslargest data centre, NM1, at Mumbai’s Panvel data center park. The data centre offers 7200 racks and 50MW of power with 48 hour backup.

The centre was inaugurated online by Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray and minister of electronics and information technology and communications Ravi Shankar Prasad.

The NM1 data centre was recently awarded the fault tolerant tier IV certification of Design Documents Certification by Uptime Institute, USA, a globally recognised certification for data center design issued in over 98 countries. This would help Yotta assure customers that the data centre is fully equipped to handle customer applications and workloads hosted there at full capacity despite a structural failure.

During the union budget 2020 in February, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had proposed a new policy for building data centre parks. The minister had said the government will roll out a policy to enable the private sector to build data centre parks throughout India.

The minister urged Indian companies to help make India a big centre for data refining, data innovation and data research. He also emphasized on the importance of India's data sovereignty, privacy and safety.

The global data centre market is expected to grow by $284.44 billion during 2019-23, according to Technavio, a market research firm.
