AirTrunk enters India with Lumina CloudInfra acquisition for 600 MW data centre pipeline

AirTrunk has acquired Lumina CloudInfra, marking its entry into India's hyperscale data centre market. The deal adds a 600 MW development pipeline across Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad, expanding AirTrunk's total platform to over 3 GW across six operating regions.

AirTrunk has acquired Lumina CloudInfra, a data centre developer with a strong presence in India, marking the company's entry into one of the world's fastest growing digital and AI infrastructure markets, according to an official announcement. The transaction gives AirTrunk immediate access to Lumina's development pipeline of approximately 600 MW of planned capacity, representing up to US$5 billion of future development potential, along with existing contracts, relationships, and operating capabilities.

AirTrunk is a hyperscale data centre platform operating across Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The platform is backed by long-term capital from Blackstone and CPPIB. Post-acquisition, AirTrunk will scale to over 3 GW of operating and planned capacity across 20 campuses in six operating regions: Australia, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and India. Lumina operates across three Tier 1 Indian markets: Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad.

This development matters for India's digital infrastructure sector, where national installed data centre capacity is projected to grow from approximately 1.5 GW in 2025 to around 10 GW by 2030, fuelled by cloud adoption, 5G expansion, data sovereignty rules, and the world's largest mobile user base. The IndiaAI Mission initiative is also driving government-backed sovereign AI capability.

For the data centre industry, the acquisition combines AirTrunk's global hyperscale expertise and supply-chain strength with Lumina's local execution capability. Stakeholders including cloud providers, AI companies, and enterprise customers stand to benefit from accelerated delivery of next-generation digital infrastructure across APAC.
