STTGDC, a leading data centre platform, announced today the completion of its acquisition by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR and Singtel, alongside the unveiling of a refreshed global brand. This strategic move marks the beginning of a new chapter for the company, positioning it to scale its AI-ready digital infrastructure capabilities with enhanced financial flexibility and the backing of experienced global investors.
The transaction, first announced earlier this year, strengthens STTGDC's ability to execute its growth strategy, which was already in motion. With long-term capital and the consortium's infrastructure expertise, the company is poised for continued expansion. Customers will experience continuity, as the same leadership team and operational discipline that have driven STTGDC's growth for over a decade remain in place. The company retains its name, but the refreshed brand reflects its evolution into a global platform, anchored in the concept of "Built Ready." This philosophy underscores STTGDC's commitment to delivering reliable, resilient, and AI-ready infrastructure across its markets in Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, emphasized the significance of this milestone: "Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC's evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago. The completion of this transaction signals the beginning of a new chapter for our company. We have spent over a decade building a global platform with the scale, capabilities and operating discipline needed to support the next generation of cloud and AI growth. With the KKR-Singtel consortium's investment, we have greater capacity to grow and execute at scale while remaining true to the values and customer commitment that have defined STTGDC from its inception. Our refreshed brand reflects both the company we have become and the responsibility we carry as digital infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to economies, businesses and communities. Built Ready is our commitment to delivering the critical infrastructure our customers need to grow with confidence, while building responsibly and sustaining the trust of governments, customers and communities."
STTGDC enters this new phase with strong operational momentum and a substantial development pipeline. Since the end of 2025, operational capacity has increased by 25% to 780MW, contracted capacity has grown by 50%, and annualised EBITDA has risen by 30%, reflecting sustained demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises. This growth underscores the company's ability to meet the evolving needs of the digital economy.
As AI transforms data centre requirements, the industry's primary challenge is converting demand into delivered capacity. This necessitates coordinated planning across power, cooling, design, supply chains, financing, and local market conditions, along with the discipline to operate mission-critical infrastructure reliably. STTGDC's strategy focuses on markets where customer needs, power availability, infrastructure readiness, policy alignment, and long-term fundamentals support responsible development. With close to 2GW of powered land secured for assets under construction and pipeline development, the company is well-positioned to deliver on customer demand.
In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities, with more than 613MW of IT capacity, strategically scaling to support the country's digital growth. In Indonesia, the company is expanding its Jakarta campus, with a development pipeline exceeding 360MW of AI-ready IT capacity backed by secured power. Singapore remains a key market, where STTGDC has been selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready capacity, supporting the nation's ambitions as a trusted digital hub.
Responsible growth remains integral to STTGDC's operations. The company sources 83.2% of its electricity from renewable energy, surpassing its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule. This commitment to sustainability, alongside close collaboration with governments and communities, reinforces the trust that underpins its social licence to operate.
The completion of this acquisition and the brand refresh signal STTGDC's readiness to capitalize on the accelerating demand for AI-ready infrastructure. With the backing of KKR and Singtel, the company is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of digital connectivity.
