The completion of the acquisition of STTGDC by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR and Singtel marks a significant milestone in the evolution of digital infrastructure. The consortium's investment provides STTGDC with long-term capital and increased financial flexibility, positioning the company to accelerate its growth strategy and meet the escalating demand for AI-ready data centers. With a refreshed global brand anchored in the concept of 'Built Ready,' STTGDC underscores its commitment to delivering reliable, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure across Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, emphasized the transformative nature of this transaction, stating, 'Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC's evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago.' He highlighted that the investment from the KKR-Singtel consortium enhances the company's capacity to grow and execute at scale while maintaining the values and customer commitment that have defined STTGDC from its inception. The refreshed brand reflects both the company's achievements and its responsibility as digital infrastructure becomes increasingly vital to economies, businesses, and communities.
STTGDC enters this new phase with robust operational momentum. Since the end of 2025, operational capacity has increased by 25% to 780MW, contracted capacity has grown by 50%, and annualised EBITDA has risen by 30%, reflecting sustained demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises across its markets. As AI transforms the scale, density, and complexity of data centre development, the industry's defining challenge is converting demand into delivered capacity. This requires coordinated planning across power, cooling, design, supply chains, financing, and local market conditions, coupled with the discipline to operate mission-critical infrastructure reliably.
STTGDC's growth strategy remains focused on markets where customer requirements, power availability, infrastructure readiness, policy alignment, and long-term fundamentals support responsible development. With close to 2GW of powered land secured for assets under construction and pipeline development, the company is well positioned to convert customer demand into delivered capacity. Its global platform capabilities and local execution experience enable it to navigate the distinct operating conditions in each market.
In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities with more than 613MW of IT capacity, strategically scaling to support the country's expanding digital economy. In Indonesia, the company is advancing a development pipeline of more than 360MW of AI-ready IT capacity backed by secured power, strengthening its ability to support Indonesia's growing cloud and AI requirements. Singapore remains strategically important, with STTGDC selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready data centre capacity, contributing to the nation's priorities as a trusted and resilient hub for AI and digital infrastructure.
Responsible growth remains integral to STTGDC's operations. With 83.2% of electricity consumption sourced from renewable energy, the company surpassed its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule. Alongside environmental commitments, STTGDC works closely with governments, customers, and communities to address local priorities and sustain its social licence to operate. This announcement underscores the importance of strategic investments in digital infrastructure to support the next generation of cloud and AI growth, ensuring that STTGDC remains a key player in the global digital economy.
