Brookfield Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management in Canada, and Digital Realty, a global provider of data centers listed on the New York Stock Exchange, today announced the establishment of a similar joint venture to develop data centers in India.

The joint venture (JV) will be known as BAM Digital Realty. The joint venture will add to Brookfield Infrastructure’s global data infrastructure portfolio, which already includes $23 billion in assets in data transmission, distribution and storage as well as a portfolio of 139,000 operational telecommunications wireless towers in the United States. Brookfield Infra plans to increase this to 175,000.

BAM Digital Realty intends to purchase land in several Indian cities to build data center complexes to support the needs of international and local enterprises as well as global hyper-scale service providers.

With the release from the joint venture, the joint venture will design, build and operate sustainable facilities, based on companies’ broad commitments to sustainable operations, such as carbon reduction initiatives.
