KKR-Singtel Consortium Completes STTGDC Acquisition, Unveils Refreshed Brand

By FisherVista
STTGDC announces the completion of its acquisition by a KKR-led consortium and Singtel, launching a refreshed global brand to accelerate AI-ready digital infrastructure growth.

STTGDC today announced the completion of its acquisition by a consortium led by global investment firm KKR, together with Singtel, and unveiled a refreshed global brand. This marks the beginning of the company's next chapter as a global digital infrastructure platform, with a focus on scaling AI-ready capacity.

The transaction strengthens STTGDC's ability to execute its existing strategy by providing long-term capital, increased financial flexibility, and the consortium's global infrastructure expertise. Customers will continue to be served by the same leadership team and operating discipline that have driven the company's growth for over a decade. Retaining the STTGDC name, the refreshed brand is anchored in "Built Ready," reflecting the company's commitment to delivering reliable, resilient, and AI-ready infrastructure across Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

Bruno Lopez, President and Group CEO of STTGDC, said, "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 company enters this phase with strong 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%, reflecting continued demand from hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI customers, and enterprises.

As AI transforms data centre requirements, the industry's challenge is converting demand into delivered capacity. STTGDC's growth strategy focuses on markets with strong fundamentals, and it has secured close to 2GW of powered land for assets under construction and pipeline development. In India, STTGDC operates 34 data centres across 10 cities with more than 613MW of IT capacity. In Indonesia, the company is expanding its Jakarta campus with a pipeline exceeding 360MW of AI-ready IT capacity. Singapore remains strategically important, with STTGDC selected to develop 50MW of sustainable, AI-ready capacity to support the nation's digital infrastructure goals.

Responsible growth remains integral. With 83.2% of electricity consumption sourced from renewable energy, STTGDC surpassed its 2028 carbon intensity reduction target three years ahead of schedule. The company works closely with governments and communities to address local priorities and maintain its social licence to operate.

This acquisition and brand refresh underscore the growing importance of digital infrastructure in the global economy. By securing long-term investment and enhancing its capabilities, STTGDC is positioned to meet the escalating demand for AI-ready data centres, which are critical for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital services worldwide. The move also highlights the increasing role of infrastructure investors in supporting the expansion of digital economies, with implications for technology adoption, energy consumption, and sustainable development.
