CapitaLand Investment Limited shares hovered around S$2.93 on Wednesday afternoon, staying close to recent peaks. Investors digested the latest fund-raising update while turning their attention to earnings due in February. (SG Investors)
The company announced it secured roughly S$150 million in equity at the initial close of its CapitaLand India Data Centre Fund, intensifying its focus on “digital infrastructure” — properties like data centres that generate rental income by hosting servers and network gear. (PR Newswire)
The reason it matters now is straightforward: listed real estate firms are hunting for more consistent fee income, while private capital continues pouring funds into cloud computing and artificial intelligence themes, despite ongoing volatility in the wider property markets.
CLI aims for a final close around S$300 million and plans to acquire a 20.2% stake in each of three data centres from CapitaLand India Trust, for roughly S$99.73 million. The fund also holds a right of first offer on a fourth data centre in Bangalore, the release stated.
The three sites — located in Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad — will together offer a gross capacity of 200 megawatts, reflecting the power available for running servers. CLI labeled them “AI-ready,” targeting hyperscalers, the massive cloud providers that lease entire data center buildings.
“The successful first close and investor support in CIDCF highlight CLI’s commitment to its investment and development strategies aimed at transforming India’s fast-evolving data centre market,” group chief operating officer Andrew Lim said in the statement. He also noted that India’s data centre capacity is set to double by 2027.
Hardik Gesota, managing director and head of India private funds at CLI, said the portfolio is set up to serve hyperscalers and enterprise clients, highlighting its strong power access and network connectivity.
The India fund update follows a logistics move announced earlier this month. CLI revealed it acquired a minority stake in Ally Logistic Property, while its CapitaLand Southeast Asia Logistics Fund pledged S$260 million to build an automated logistics facility in Singapore, scheduled to wrap up by 2028.
Patricia Goh, CLI’s CEO for Southeast Asia and global head of logistics and self-storage for private funds, highlighted “modern, automated logistics solutions” amid rising labour costs and shifting supply chains. The company also referenced a forecasted growth rate for APAC logistics stretching through 2030 in its announcement.
Still, some variables remain. The India data centre fund hasn’t closed yet, and CLI said the final purchase price for the stakes will be set at completion. Any hold-ups in construction or stricter rules on power and grid connections might also drag out deployment.
Next on the calendar: earnings. CLI is set to release its unaudited full-year 2025 results on Feb. 11, before the market opens. An SGX notice also confirmed a 9 a.m. results briefing will take place, featuring a live webcast. (SGX Links)
