CapitaLand India Trust Powers Up: New IT Parks Set to Boost India’s Tech Infrastructure

In a strategic move showcasing its long-term vision and strong faith in India's booming tech sector, CapitaLand India Trust—a Singapore‑listed REIT—has announced plans to develop new IT parks across India. This expansion not only reinforces the company’s commitment to leveraging India’s thriving digital economy but also positions it as a pivotal player in shaping the future of tech infrastructure nationwide.

1. Deeper Dive: CapitaLand’s Expansion Strategy

CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT), listed on the Singapore Exchange, is ramping up its IT infrastructure play by adding new IT parks to its portfolio—a significant step in strengthening its presence in India’s fast-growing business park segment. 

This initiative aligns closely with the trust’s existing operations: as of nine months ago, CLINT already owned seven IT parks and one logistics park, totaling 13.1 million sq ft across major cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai. 

2. The Bigger Picture: CLINT’s Ambitious Expansion

CapitaLand Investment (CLI), the group behind CLINT, has been aggressively expanding its India footprint. They recently launched a dedicated business parks development fund, expected to add S$700 million to its Funds Under Management (FUM). 

Their growth ambition is clear: CLI aims to more than double its India FUM by 2028—fueled by strong demand from global corporations and institutional investors. 

3. Why This Matters for India’s Tech Ecosystem

• Supply meets demand: The expansion comes at a time when India's IT and business services sector is expanding rapidly, with global players seeking premium-grade, scalable infrastructure.

• Pan-India presence: By building new parks across multiple cities, CLINT is not just bolstering metros like Bengaluru and Mumbai, but also nurturing emerging tech hubs.

• Growing investor confidence: The move underscores international investors' continued trust in India’s real estate and tech growth story, amid macroeconomic challenges.

4. Final Thoughts

CapitaLand India Trust's latest announcement is more than just a corporate expansion—it's a testament to the enduring momentum behind India’s digital transformation. By strengthening the backbone of our tech infrastructure, CLINT helps create spaces where innovation, investment, and enterprise can truly flourish.
