Colt Data Centre Services and RMZ said this week that construction has started on Mumbai 3, a 64MW building at their Navi Mumbai campus, after signing a hyperscale customer.

Once the building is online, the campus's three buildings will total 86MW; at full build-out the Navi Mumbai site could reach 148MW. Mumbai 3 will pair conventional air cooling with direct liquid-to-chip cooling and use a closed-loop system intended to reduce water use, according to Data Center Dynamics, which reported the construction start.

The construction start sits inside a $1.7 billion joint venture the two firms announced in 2024, through which they have committed to develop 250MW across Mumbai and Chennai. The pair are also considering a project in Vizag, according to the report.

Colt DCS lists 15 operational data centers and 12 more under development across nine cities in the UK, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company says it has nearly 800MW of capacity under development, a pipeline overseen by CEO Quy Nguyen, named permanent chief executive in August, as this publication reported. Fidelity Investments has owned Colt since 2015.
