ST Telemedia has taken another significant step towards bolstering its global data centre footprint. The investor in communication, media and technology businesses around the globe announced the proposed acquisition of 74% of Tata Communications’ data centre business in India and Singapore. Through the strategic partnership, STT Global Data Centres (STT GDC) will acquire 14 data centres in key Indian cities and three Singapore facilities, which currently house a highly-diversified customer base, including blue chip enterprises in Asia, e-commerce platforms and global multi-national corporations. With this acquisition, STT GDC will further expand and strengthen its global data centre network to span four geographies, including strong bases in two of Asia’s largest growth markets - India and China.

"The latest addition of India to the STT GDC network will be a major impetus to advance the company’s ambition to be a significant global data centre service provider." – Mr Sio Tat Hiang, Executive Director, ST Telemedia
