STTGDC has announced the completion of its acquisition by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR and Singtel, marking a significant milestone in the company's evolution as a global digital infrastructure platform. The transaction, which was first announced earlier this year, provides STTGDC with long-term capital and increased financial flexibility, enabling it to scale its AI-ready infrastructure offerings across Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

The refreshed brand, which retains the STTGDC name, is anchored in the concept of "Built Ready," reflecting the company's commitment to delivering reliable, resilient, and AI-ready infrastructure. Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, emphasized the importance of this transition: "Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC's evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago. With the KKR-Singtel consortium's investment, we have greater capacity to grow and execute at scale while remaining true to the values and customer commitment that have defined STTGDC from its inception."

The acquisition comes at a time of strong operational momentum for STTGDC. Since the end of 2025, the company has increased its operational capacity by 25% to 780MW, grown contracted capacity by 50%, and seen a 30% rise in annualised EBITDA. This growth is driven by sustained demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises across its markets. The company's strategy focuses on converting customer demand into delivered capacity, which requires coordinated planning across power, cooling, design, supply chains, and local market conditions.

STTGDC's growth strategy remains concentrated in markets with favorable fundamentals, such as India, Indonesia, and Singapore. In India, the company operates 34 data centres across 10 cities, with over 613MW of IT capacity, and is strategically scaling its load to support the country's digital economy. In Indonesia, STTGDC is expanding its Jakarta campus with a pipeline of more than 360MW of AI-ready capacity, backed by secured power. In Singapore, the company has been selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready data centre capacity, contributing to the nation's strategic priorities.

Responsible growth remains integral to STTGDC's operations. The company has already surpassed its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule, with 83.2% of its electricity consumption sourced from renewable energy. This commitment to sustainability, combined with close collaboration with governments and communities, underpins its social licence to operate.

The completion of this acquisition positions STTGDC to continue its growth trajectory with the backing of experienced infrastructure investors. The consortium's global expertise and financial support will enable the company to navigate the complexities of the data centre industry, including the challenges of power availability, supply chain constraints, and evolving customer needs. As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to economies worldwide, STTGDC's refreshed brand and strengthened financial position signal its readiness to meet the demands of the AI era.
