Princeton Digital Group MU1 Campus
- Planned critical IT
- 150 MW

- Oct 29, 2026
Princeton Digital Group’s MU1 campus in Airoli, Navi Mumbai, has a five-building design totalling 150 MW IT. A June 2026 rating rationale reports the first two buildings’ contracted capacity handed over by March 2026; DC3/DC4 were under development, jointly about 72 MW, targeting phased completion in fiscal 2028. This is not 150 MW operating capacity. Initial-building figures of 48 MW in 2022, 50 MW in 2025 and approximately 52.5 MW in the 2026 rating remain separately attributed; the latter’s critical-IT basis is unspecified. Rated facilities and announced green loans are distinct, non-additive financing disclosures.
Capacity
Operating IT capacity: Not established in published records
A missing figure does not mean zero. Planned, utility and generation figures are not operating IT capacity.
Development
2 buildings
Crisil June 2026 says contracted capacity handed over by March 2026. Numeric operating MW is not established. Evidence: SRC-N215-PDG-MU1-P2
2 buildings
Development has started as of June 2026; approximately 72 MW jointly, with phased completion targeted in fiscal 2028 and debt tie-up underway. Not current operating load or a financing close. Evidence: SRC-N215-PDG-MU1-P2
1 building
Fifth building remains within 150 MW IT five-building campus design; no exact standalone completion date or operating capacity established. Evidence: SRC-N215-PDG-MU1-P1; SRC-N215-PDG-MU1-P2

Reviewed mu1 loan context
Reported roundedOn 30 July 2025, PDG announced approximately US$160 million of green loans from Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Canara Bank for MU1 development and broader green data centre initiatives in India. The MU1-only allocation, disbursement date and overlap with rated INR facilities are unverified; the figures must not be added together.
SourceReviewed mu1 historical launch context
Reported roundedPDG launched MU1 on 7 December 2022, then describing 48 MW of critical IT capacity across two buildings on approximately six acres within a larger Airoli IT campus, with US$300 million investment. This is the 2022 launch scope and reported investment, not the land area or operating load of the later 150 MW campus plan. PDG’s December 7, 2022 launch release reported that MU1 had achieved IGBC Platinum certification. This is an operator reported certification claim by that date, not independent inspection of the certificate, its exact award date or building permission.
SourceReviewed mu1 capacity history context
Reported roundedIn July 2025, PDG described the first two MU1 buildings as operational with 50 MW capacity and the first phase of a 100 MW expansion as under construction. These dated figures are not occupied load or confirmation that all 150 MW is operational; they do not silently replace the 2022 report’s 48 MW. Crisil’s June 25, 2026 rationale reports DC1/DC2 construction complete at approximately 52.5 MW, with over 50 MW contracted. It reports DC3/DC4 fully contracted with estimated capex of INR 2,800–3,000 crore and debt tie up underway. The capacity passage does not explicitly specify critical-IT basis; contracting is not measured occupied load and debt tie up is not funding closure.
SourceReviewed mu1 rated banks context
Reported roundedCrisil’s June 25, 2026 bank facility annexure lists a Canara Bank term loan of INR 330 crore, a Kotak Mahindra Bank term loan of INR 342 crore, a Kotak overdraft facility of INR 30 crore and proposed non fund based limits of INR 1 crore with no lender assigned. Both term loan instruments show September 30, 2040 maturity. The overdraft is interchangeable with an INR 25 crore bank guarantee facility, not additive to it. These are components of the existing INR 703 crore rated facilities, not new funding or independently verified drawn balances; no named lender is allocated to DC2.
SourceSite & development
Site location
Reported roundedMU1 campus at 19.172654,72.992812 inside a larger 50-acre IT/ITES park. Five buildings DC1–DC5, one campus; park acreage is not campus land area.
SourceLand and site control context
Reported roundedAiroli coordinates identify the MU1 campus. Crisil’s June 25, 2026 rationale describes land secured under a long term lease in its discussion of PDG India’s capacity expansion. It does not identify the lessor, registered parcel, lease expiry or building by building lease allocation; no freehold ownership or full title chain conclusion follows.
SourceAdditional project facts
Reviewed mu1 dc2 terms context
Reported roundedCrisil’s June 25, 2026 rationale describes DC2 loan tenor of 14 years, repayments starting in fiscal 2026 and a put/call option after 85 months from first disbursement. It reports covenants of DSCR at least 1.20 times and net debt/EBITDA below 6 times in fiscals 2027–2028, reducing thereafter. These are reported terms, not verified covenant compliance; no first disbursement or option exercise date is inferred.
