AirTrunk, Asia Pacific and the Middle East’s leading hyperscale data centre platform, today announced the acquisition of Lumina CloudInfra, a developer of large-scale data centres with a strong presence in India. The deal marks AirTrunk’s entry into one of the world’s fastest growing digital and AI infrastructure markets.
The transaction will give AirTrunk immediate access to Lumina’s development pipeline, existing contracts and relationships, and operating capabilities. This includes an approximately 600 MW portfolio of planned capacity, representing up to US$5 billion of future development potential. The platform will continue to be supported by long-term capital from Blackstone and CPPIB.
Post acquisition, AirTrunk will scale to more than over 3GW of operating and planned capacity, across 20 campuses in six operating regions (Australia, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and India), reinforcing its position as a leading global APAC hyperscale platform.
India is witnessing a rapid increase in demand for data. National installed data centre capacity is set to grow from roughly 1.5GW in 2025 to around 10GW by 20301, fuelled by widespread cloud adoption, 5G expansion, tightening data sovereignty rules, and the world’s largest mobile user base.
In addition, the country’s ambition to become a global AI powerhouse is backed by a major government drive to build sovereign AI capability as part of the IndiaAI Mission initiative. This powerful combination is creating unprecedented, nationwide demand for hyperscale and AI-ready data centres.
Lumina is a scaled and established data centre platform in India, with operations across three Tier 1 markets in India – Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad. The business brings deep execution capability, a proven development pipeline and a clear focus on AI-ready, energy efficient infrastructure.
By combining AirTrunk’s global hyperscale expertise, supply‑chain strength and long‑standing relationships with the world’s largest cloud and AI customers, with Lumina’s scale and market leadership, the platform is uniquely positioned to accelerate delivery of next‑generation digital infrastructure. The integrated AirTrunk and Lumina platform brings together global scale and local leadership, enabling the delivery of large‑scale, high‑density, AI‑ready campuses at the speed and scale needed to support customers across APAC.
Robin Khuda, Founder & CEO of AirTrunk, said: “India is one of the largest and fastest growing markets for hyperscale and AI infrastructure worldwide, and expanding in this market is a significant milestone for AirTrunk’s broader APAC strategy. By acquiring Lumina CloudInfra, we are uniquely positioned to deliver the scale, speed, and performance our customers need as they expand across the APAC region.”
Sujeet Deshpande, Co-Founder & CEO of Lumina CloudInfra, said: “Our team is excited to join AirTrunk as we continue building India’s digital infrastructure. Lumina enters this next chapter as a scaled operator with strong local capabilities, deep expertise, and a proven delivery track record.
“By bringing our team together with AirTrunk, we combine local strength with global platforms in design, construction, operations, safety, quality, and technology – along with access to AirTrunk’s global customer network and capital strength. Together, our teams will grow, delivering greater consistency, scale and opportunity for our people, customers, and partners.”
Peng Wei Tan, Senior Managing Director – Real Estate at Blackstone said: “This partnership marks a meaningful expansion of our data centre portfolio and reinforces one of Blackstone’s highest conviction themes, digital infrastructure. As the world’s largest investor in data centres with the leading platform in Asia Pacific, we deliver scale and deep expertise to meet the rising demand for high quality digital infrastructure across the region’s fastest growing economies.”
