The acquisition of STTGDC by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR and Singtel has been completed, marking a significant milestone for the data centre provider. The company also unveiled a refreshed global brand, signaling its next phase of growth as a global digital infrastructure platform.

This transaction enhances STTGDC's ability to execute its existing strategy by providing long-term capital, increased financial flexibility, and the consortium's extensive infrastructure expertise. Customers will continue to receive services from the same leadership team, operating discipline, and long-term commitment that have driven the company's growth for over a decade.

Retaining the STTGDC name, the refreshed brand reflects the scale, capabilities, and global platform the company has built over more than 12 years. It is anchored in 'Built Ready,' expressing STTGDC's focus on delivering reliable, resilient, and AI-ready infrastructure required by customers across Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, stated, '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 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 continued demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises across its markets.

As AI changes the scale, density, and complexity of data centre development, the industry's defining challenge is increasingly the ability to convert demand into delivered capacity. This requires more than capital or land; it depends on coordinated planning across power, cooling, design, supply chains, financing, and local market conditions, together with the discipline to deliver and operate mission-critical infrastructure reliably.

STTGDC's growth strategy remains focused on markets where customer requirements, 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 convert customer demand into delivered capacity.

In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities with more than 613MW of IT capacity, strategically scaling to support the country's expanding digital economy. In Indonesia, the company is expanding its Jakarta campus, advancing a development pipeline of more than 360MW of AI-ready IT capacity backed by secured power. Singapore remains strategically important; STTGDC was selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready data centre capacity, supporting the nation's role as a trusted hub for AI and digital infrastructure.

Responsible growth remains integral to STTGDC's operations. With 83.2% of electricity consumption sourced from renewable energy, the company surpassed its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule. STTGDC works closely with governments, customers, and communities to address local priorities and earn the trust that underpins its social licence to operate.
