Lodha Signs MoU with Maharashtra Govt for Additional ₹1 Lakh Crore Investment in Data Centre

Lodha Developers Ltd has significantly increased its commitment to Maharashtra’s digital infrastructure with a total investment of ₹1.3 lakh crore. 

Following a previous memorandum of understanding of ₹30,000 crore in September 2025, the company signed another MoU on January 19, 2026, during the World Economic Forum at Davos. 

The expanded investment will develop a 2.5-gigawatt data centre park, set to become the largest in India.

Economic and Employment Impact

The data centre park is expected to generate over 16,000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing significantly to Maharashtra’s economic growth. The project will accommodate multiple major international and domestic players, reinforcing the state as a hub for digital infrastructure. 

The expansion aligns with the government’s Green Integrated Data Centre Park policy and emphasises Lodha’s role in driving technology-led development.

Participation of Global Players

Global tech giants are already committing to the project. Amazon has acquired land and arranged its power requirements for the next 15 years. Singapore-based STT Global Data Centres has also secured a land parcel in the park. Lodha will serve as the developer for several of these companies, leveraging its decades-long construction expertise to support infrastructure deployment and operational readiness.

Strategic Significance

The 2.5 GW data centre park positions Maharashtra as a key destination for cloud and digital services in India. The scale of investment, strategic partnerships, and job creation potential make this project a landmark initiative for the country’s technology and industrial ecosystem.

“Over and above the ₹30,000 crores commitment last year to develop the data centre park, we have signed another agreement with the Government of Maharashtra to invest additional ₹1 lakh crore. The state has already scaled newer heights under the leadership of Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra. His vision and actions directed towards developed Maharashtra, gives us immense confidence in committing to such a large investment,” said Abhishek Lodha, MD and CEO of Lodha Developers Ltd.
