L&T signs pact with Tamil Nadu govt to build data centre at Kanchipuram

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Wednesday said it has entered into a pact with the Tamil Nadu government to establish a data centre in the state.

L&T will establish 90 MW capacity data centres and associated units in a phased manner in Kanchipuram over the next five years. The company envisages to employ around 1,100 people — 600 direct and 500 indirect — in the project.

Larsen & Toubro “has signed an MoU with the Government of Tamil Nadu to establish a data centre at Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu,” the company said in a filing to the BSE.

The Government of Tamil Nadu will provide uninterrupted power supply and other infrastructure support on a best-effort basis that will bring tangible economic and social benefits to the people of state.
