what happened
Japan's NTT Data Group, a unit of telecom giant NTT, intends to raise its data centre spending in Indonesia, according to an interview with Reuters. Yasuhiro Kajiki, the unit's managing director for Japan and Asia Pacific, called the approach “very aggressive” but did not disclose a figure.
The company is seeking extra land for a two-to-three-year expansion and is set to open a 12-megawatt annex in Jakarta. So far it has put $500 million into Indonesian data centres since 2015.
Demand for AI and cloud services is driving such build-outs, but in Malaysia and Indonesia residents and officials have raised concerns about power grids, water supply and land. Kajiki said working with local communities matters, since some projects meet resistance.
why it matters
For markets, this is a corporate expansion story rather than a market-moving event, but it shows how AI-driven demand for data centres is straining power and water supplies in Southeast Asia. Research and Markets, in a January report, valued Indonesia's data-centre market at $2.81 billion in 2025 and forecasts $6.08 billion by 2031.
