In November 2026, NTT Data Group officially disclosed its expansion plan for data centers in Indonesia, and will purchase new land parcels locally in the next 2 to 3 years to promote a new round of computing infrastructure layout. This is another step taken by the group to address the demand for AI computing power in Southeast Asia, following the commissioning of the JKT2A data center in Jakarta in early November 2026.

The size of the Indonesian data center market is expected to exceed 6 billion US dollars in 6 years

The latest industry data released by Research and Markets shows that the overall size of the Indonesian data center market will reach 2.81 billion US dollars by 2025, and is expected to achieve more than double growth by 2031, with the overall market size climbing to 6.08 billion US dollars. The rapid expansion of the AI industry in Southeast Asia, coupled with the continuous penetration of the local digital economy, has made Indonesia one of the fastest-growing emerging markets for data center demand in the Asia Pacific region.

Since NTT entered the Indonesian data center market in 2015, it has invested a total of $500 million. Previously, the Jakarta JKT2A data center had a single IT capacity of 12MW and was connected to over 240 network service providers and cloud platforms, making it one of the few high-level AI ready computing hubs in the local area. After the implementation of this new round of expansion plan, NTT's computing power carrying capacity in Indonesia will reach another level.

Global AI factory synchronized deployment

Hiroshi Kajiki, Managing Director of NTT Global Data Centers Japan and Asia Pacific, stated that the expansion efforts in the Indonesian market are at the forefront of the group's priorities. In the current process of implementing data center projects in multiple global locations, the cost of coordinating with local communities continues to rise. NTT will make local communication and community collaboration a prerequisite for project promotion, ensuring the smooth implementation of new projects.

In October 2026, NTT Data will simultaneously launch AI factories in multiple cities including Paris, Munich, and Singapore, along with AI factories in Texas and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that have already been put into operation. Its global AI computing network layout has formed a multi-point linkage pattern.

As a core node in Southeast Asia, Indonesia will establish efficient collaboration with AI factories in the surrounding regions to meet the rapidly growing demand for regional AI computing power.Editor/Cheng Liting
