Singapore-based data centre operator Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has acquired land in India, Malaysia, and Indonesia as part of its ambitious plans to boost capacity by nearly 50%, driven by the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) services. The expansion, which is part of a US$5 billion investment over the next 12 to 18 months, aims to increase PDG's capacity by 500 megawatts, according to CEO Rangu Salgame.
In Malaysia, the company is focusing on Johor, strategically located near the Singapore border, while also expanding in Jakarta, Mumbai, and Chennai—high-demand hotspots for cloud and AI services. PDG already caters to global technology companies in these markets, which are rapidly growing their footprint in Asia.
PDG is also exploring a US$1 billion private fundraising round, Bloomberg reported earlier this week. The company plans to double its data centre capacity within three years and expand its workforce, adding over 300 employees in markets such as Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and India by 2025.
Salgame emphasized the transformative impact of AI on the data centre industry, noting that the surge in demand, which initially began in North America, is now expanding across Asia. “By securing access and a roadmap to full power in these locations, we are positioned to meet the Pan-Asia customer demand for scalable, AI-ready data centre capacity,” he said.
