Web Werks has announced key investment plans at the Global Investors Summit in Uttar Pradesh. Addressing the event, Web Werks, along with its joint venture partner, Iron Mountain Data Centres, announced plans to invest Rs 1.97 billion in a new hyper-scale data centre in Noida.
Web Werks will be part of the approved data centre parks approved by the government with additional investments to launch edge facilities in key cities in Uttar Pradesh. The construction of the new Noida data centre will begin in 2022 with a 20 MVA gross power capacity and will be live for its customers by 2023.
Subsequent to the existing plot of land to build this facility, Web Werks has gone ahead and acquired additional land for expansion. Web Werks has announced plans to set up edge data centre facilities in all key cities in Uttar Pradesh.
Commenting on the development, Nikhil Rathi, founder and CEO, Web Werks, said, “The locational advantage of Uttar Pradesh has made the state attractive for investments in the IT and Electronic industry from many leading players; both Indian and global. The expanse of the state also makes it viable for Web Werks to scale up its investments and launch edge facilities in key cities furthering its presence in the region. Multiple e-governance services and online service delivery platforms will turn the state into a major cloud storage consumer for these data centres. Our customers will benefit from the locational advantage and the strong IT ecosystem and availability of quality talent.”
