Lodha Developers Limited has significantly expanded its digital infrastructure plans by signing a new memorandum of understanding with the Government of Maharashtra for an additional ₹1 lakh crore investment in data centre development. This latest agreement follows an earlier ₹30,000 crore commitment and raises the company’s total planned investment in the state’s data centre ecosystem to ₹1.3 lakh crore.
The agreement was signed in January 2026 alongside a global investment forum, reflecting the strategic importance of the project within India’s evolving digital infrastructure landscape. The proposed data centre park is planned with an estimated total capacity of around 2.5 gigawatts, which would position it among the largest data centre clusters in the country.
From an industry perspective, the development highlights Maharashtra’s growing focus on attracting large-scale digital infrastructure investments. Rising demand for cloud services, data storage, artificial intelligence workloads, and enterprise digitalisation appears to be driving sustained interest from both domestic and international players.
The project is expected to create more than 16,000 direct and indirect jobs across construction, operations, energy management, and support services. Several global and Indian data centre operators have already acquired land parcels within the park, indicating strong commercial interest and early traction for the project.
Analysts may view Lodha Developers’ move as a strategic diversification beyond traditional real estate into technology-linked infrastructure. By acting as a developer for multiple data centre operators, the company is aligning itself with long-term structural trends shaping India’s digital economy.
While execution timelines and phased capital deployment will remain key aspects to monitor, the scale of the commitment reflects confidence in sustained demand for digital infrastructure. If implemented as planned, the project could materially strengthen Maharashtra’s position as a data centre hub while reinforcing Lodha Developers’ presence in a high-growth infrastructure segment.
