NTT Data eyes more Indonesia data centre investment

JAKARTA, Nov 3 (Reuters) - ‌Japan's NTT ​Data ​Group, a unit of telecommunications giant NTT, plans to step up investment in data centres ‌in Indonesia, its Asia Pacific data centre chief ⁠told Reuters on Tuesday.

• NTT Data is being "very aggressive" by investing ‌in more data centres ‌in Indonesia, Yasuhiro Kajiki, managing director for Japan and Asia Pacific at NTT Data's data centres unit, ​said in an interview, declining to say how much the company planned to invest

• NTT Data ⁠is looking to acquire additional land as part of its two- to ​three-year expansion plan, the company said at an event ahead of the opening of ​a 12-megawatt data centre annex in ‌Jakarta

• The company has invested $500 million in data centres in Indonesia since 2015

• The ⁠expansion comes as rapid growth in data centres, fuelled in part by demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing, ⁠has triggered opposition in some countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia, over ​pressure on electricity grids and water supplies as well as competition for land

• Kajiki said engagement with local communities was important ‌as some projects face opposition from local residents

• Indonesia's data-centre market was valued ‌at $2.81 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach $6.08 ⁠billion by 2031, according ‌to a Research ​and Markets report published in January
