The completion of the acquisition of STTGDC by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR and Singtel marks a significant milestone for the digital infrastructure provider, which has simultaneously unveiled a refreshed global brand to signal its next phase of growth. The transaction, announced today, is set to bolster STTGDC's capacity to execute its strategic vision, backed by long-term capital and the consortium's extensive infrastructure expertise.

STTGDC's President and Group CEO, Bruno Lopez, emphasized the transformative nature of this development, stating, “Today marks the most important turning point in STTGDC's evolution since we founded the company more than 12 years ago. The completion of this transaction signals the beginning of a new chapter for our company.” Lopez highlighted that the investment would enable greater scalability while maintaining the core values and customer commitment that have defined the company.

The refreshed brand, retaining the STTGDC name, is anchored in the concept of “Built Ready,” reflecting the company's focus on delivering reliable, resilient, and AI-ready infrastructure across Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe. This new identity underscores the company's evolution into a global platform with the scale and capabilities necessary to support the next generation of cloud and AI growth.

STTGDC enters this phase with robust operating momentum. Since the end of 2025, operational capacity has increased by 25% to 780MW, contracted capacity has grown by 50%, and annualised EBITDA has risen by 30% (for the period from December 2025 through June 2026). This growth is driven by sustained demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises across its markets.

The company's growth strategy remains focused on markets where customer requirements, power availability, infrastructure readiness, and policy alignment support responsible development. With close to 2GW of powered land secured for assets under construction and pipeline development, STTGDC is well-positioned to convert customer demand into delivered capacity.

In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities with more than 613MW of IT capacity, strategically scaling to support the country's digital economy. In Indonesia, the company is expanding its Jakarta campus, with a development pipeline exceeding 360MW of AI-ready IT capacity backed by secured power. Singapore remains strategically important, with STTGDC selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready data centre capacity, contributing to the nation's position as a trusted digital hub.

Responsible growth continues to be integral to STTGDC's operations. With 83.2% of electricity consumption sourced from renewable energy, the company has surpassed its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule. This commitment extends to working closely with governments, customers, and communities to address local priorities and maintain its social licence to operate.

The completion of this acquisition and the brand refresh signify a new chapter for STTGDC, enabling it to scale its AI-ready digital infrastructure platform while preserving the operational discipline and customer-centric approach that have underpinned its success for over a decade. As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to economies and communities, STTGDC's enhanced capabilities position it to play a pivotal role in supporting the next wave of cloud and AI innovation.
