STT GDC Pune 4 is 18 MW, the second largest of the five Pune cards. Under the only arrangement of those cards that reconciles to the published numbers, this is the first of two expansion buildings — the one that turns a 40 MW current footprint into a 58 MW one, and then an 81 MW one. Eighteen megawatts is 45% of today’s headline in a single building. No stage, no date, no rack count and no PUE are published, so the building that defines Pune’s next supply cycle is currently a number with nothing attached.

2The building where the headline changes
An expansion building is the most commercially interesting record in a portfolio, because it is where supply is decided.
| Footprint | MW | Buildings | What it assumes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current, per the headline | 40 | three | the inference on PRJ-123 is right |
| With this building | 58 | four | Pune 4 delivers and is let |
| All five cards | 81 | five | Pune 5 delivers as well |
| IT support capacity | 140 | — | a site ceiling, not a building plan |
| Sanctioned power | 200 MVA | — | apparent power behind the whole site |
Eighteen megawatts landing in Pune is a material event. The counted Pune market is 51.5 MW across two operators, so this single building is 35% of everything counted in the city.
Whether it lands in 2027 or 2029 changes the answer to the only question Pune tenants are asking: whether there is going to be enough capacity, and whether to sign now or wait.
3What 18 MW does to the Pune market
Pune is a two-operator market with a third of its capacity in one unbuilt building.
| Measure | Counted today | With Pune 4 | With Pune 4 and 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nxtra | 49.5 MW | 49.5 MW | 49.5 MW |
| Iron Mountain | 2 MW | 2 MW | 2 MW |
| STT, if counted | 0 MW | 18 MW | 42 MW |
| Market total | 51.5 MW | 69.5 MW | 93.5 MW |
| STT share | 0% | 26% | 45% |
Two buildings take STT from invisible to the largest operator in Pune. That is not unusual for the Indian market — a single delivery cycle reorders the league table — but it is the specific reason dates matter more than capacities.
It also underlines the counting problem: at 93.5 MW the Pune market would be 45% STT, and this registry would still show the company at zero because of the flag. Any analysis built on the counted total is now wrong by nearly half the market.

5Limits and open questions
- No stage or date. The building may not have started.
- No basis, racks, floor area or PUE.
- The expansion role is inferred from the reconciliation, not stated by the operator.
- No construction evidence in trade press or directories.
- The 200 MVA sanction is shared across the site, so headroom for this building is not public.
- What would close it. A delivery date. It would make this the most valuable record in the Pune market.
