NTT Data Group, the Asia-Pacific data center arm of Japanese telecom giant NTT, said on Tuesday that it plans to increase its data center investment in Indonesia.
The company is "actively" investing in building more data centers in Indonesia, according to Yasuhiro Kajiki, the company's managing director for Japan and the Asia-Pacific region, who revealed this in an interview but did not specify the exact investment amount.
As a 12-megawatt data center expansion project in Jakarta is about to be launched, NTT Data Group said at a related event that it is seeking to acquire more land as part of its two-to-three-year expansion plan.
Since 2015, the company has invested $500 million in Indonesia's data center sector. Driven by factors such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing demand, the data center industry is developing rapidly; however, this expansion has also triggered opposition in some countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia, due to the pressure it places on local power grids and water supply systems, as well as intensifying competition for land resources.
Kajiki stated that maintaining communication with local communities is crucial, as some projects are facing opposition from local residents.
According to a report released by Research and Markets in January this year, Indonesia's data center market was valued at $2.81 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $6.08 billion by 2031.
