CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said: “Across our global network of companies, we’re bringing major data centre campuses to life for the top hyperscale data centre companies. Our commitment to delivering cutting-edge infrastructure, and the role of Asia and India in advancing the digital future, is deepening our collaboration with these operators in the region.”
Leighton Asia Managing Director Brad Davey said: “Securing another data centre project in India demonstrates our core expertise in delivering complex engineering solutions. We are pleased to be working again with our key customer to deliver this critical infrastructure.”
