CapitaLand releases Research Study on Investment strategies for Investors
CLI-CapitalLand Investment has introduced its recent research paper on the investment strategies for APAC – Asia Pacific’s DC – Data Centre industry as segment of its research studies series 'Perspectives'. 
Harnessing the insights from CapitalLand’s investment expertise on the sector, the remarkable research paper signifies the driving demand behind the robust growth of Data centers in the region and strategic investment deliberations for investors. 
Also the paper contains a case study on piloting the data center sector of India. 
Expressing to this inventive research paper on investments, Michelle Lee, CLI's Managing Director, Private Funds (Data Centre) says, "Digitalisation is a global mega trend driving the growth of data centres. With the DC sector's strong secular tailwinds, 97% of institutional investors plan to increase their capital allocation into the sector1, particularly in Asia Pacific. As DCs are more resilient, allocation to this asset class can be an integral part of investors' portfolio diversification strategy."
Further Lee adds, "CLI has accelerated our growth in the DC sector, adding 22 DCs since 2021. Today, we have 27 DCs with about US$4.5 billion assets under management and more than 800 megawatts (MW) in gross power across eight countries globally2.  CLI has vertically integrated DC capabilities spanning across design, development, sales, and operations. With DC domain capabilities, combined with our deep market knowledge, deal-sourcing and investment network in Asia, we are well-positioned to partner with investors to tap into the wealth of opportunities in the sector”.
Similarly, underscoring India as a thriving spot for DC investment, Sanjeev Dasgupta, CLI's CEO for India, states, "India's DC industry has seen increasing interest from institutional investors and has a long runway for further growth. India has the world's second highest number of mobile subscribers and one of the fastest growing data consumption per user rates. The government's digitalisation drive, data localisation regulation as well as the growth of cloud and AI will generate more demand for DC capacity. With CLI's 30 years of experience in India, we have the capabilities and a deep understanding of the local market. We have a dedicated team of DC experts in India and are currently developing four DCs across the key markets of Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad with a total gross power of 244 MW”.
