In a major move in the Indian real estate market, Microsoft has recently acquired a significant land parcel in Pune’s Hinjewadi region for Rs 519.72 crore. The tech giant’s purchase of 16.4 acres of land underscores its commitment to expanding its data centre operations in India, a key market for its cloud services.
This latest acquisition adds to Microsoft’s existing network of data centres in Pune, Mumbai, and Chennai, enhancing its capacity to deliver cloud-based services and solutions. The company’s strategic investments in infrastructure are aimed at supporting its growing digital and cloud operations in India, one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies.
This Rs 520 crore land deal is just the latest in a series of strategic acquisitions by Microsoft in India. In 2022, the company purchased a 25-acre plot in Pimpri-Chinchwad for Rs 328 crore, followed by a 48-acre land acquisition in Hyderabad in early 2024 for Rs 267 crore. These investments highlight Microsoft’s dedication to strengthening its technological footprint and supporting India’s digital transformation.
Looking ahead, this latest acquisition is expected to enhance Microsoft’s ability to provide scalable and efficient cloud services in India. The company’s continued focus on expanding its data centre network and investing in AI skilling programmes and partnerships demonstrates its commitment to driving digital innovation and growth in the country.
