First 120MW building expected to enter service from early 2027, supporting liquid-cooled AI workloads of up to 500kW per rack.

SINGAPORE and JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BDx Data Centers ("BDx") today broke ground on AI Campus 2 (CGK4), a 640MW AI data center campus in Jatiluhur, West Java, Indonesia. Dedi Mulyadi, Governor of West Java, and Saepul Bahri Binzein, Regent of Purwakarta, attended the groundbreaking ceremony alongside BDx and BDx Indonesia leadership.

The campus is backed by 845MVA of grid capacity from state utility PLN, part of BDx's 1.2GVA+ secured power position across its AI-ready campuses in Indonesia. CGK4 is expected to be developed over approximately three years, with buildings commissioned sequentially to support accelerating demand for high-density AI capacity.

CGK4 reflects BDx's evolution into an AI-first digital infrastructure platform, delivering secured power, high-density capacity, and faster time-to-market for AI workloads across Asia-Pacific.

CGK4 achieved certification under the NVIDIA DGX™-Ready Colocation Data Center program in April 2025. Located approximately five kilometers from the Jatiluhur Dam, the campus will receive power through PLN under Indonesia's national grid framework and is actively pursuing lower-carbon power pathways, including a hydroelectric power arrangement with PJT, to support the region's growing AI infrastructure with cleaner, more sustainable energy.

Construction has begun on Building 1, the first of six planned buildings at the site. Building 1 will deliver 120MW of IT capacity in phases, with the first contracted phase expected to enter service in early 2027. The facility is being built with a direct-to-chip liquid-cooling architecture engineered to support up to 500kW per rack for current and future AI accelerator generations.

CGK4 is already attracting strong interest from multiple hyperscalers, along with global technology companies, AI-native cloud providers and enterprises seeking AI-ready capacity across Southeast Asia and beyond. Demand at this pace reflects how quickly customer requirements are scaling.

"Indonesia is entering a new phase of digital and AI development, and CGK4 is a long-term investment in the infrastructure that phase requires. It anchors a growing AI ecosystem in West Java: scalable, high-density capacity built to bring advanced AI workloads into production faster, with a reliable path for customers as demand grows," said Mayank Srivastava, Chief Executive Officer, BDx Data Centers.

CGK4 forms part of BDx's AI-focused campus expansion in Indonesia, supported by a US$320 million loan facility secured in 2026.

"This is a practical step forward for Indonesia's digital economy. We are putting sovereign, high-density AI infrastructure in place with our national partners. It allows local enterprises, government agencies, and developers to run advanced AI workloads domestically while creating skilled jobs and long-term value in West Java," said Agus Hartono Wijaya, Chief Executive Officer, BDx Indonesia.

Indonesia is among the few Asia-Pacific markets that combine available grid capacity, campus-scale land, and strong domestic AI demand, supported by Special Economic Zone incentives for large-scale infrastructure investment. BDx's Indonesia platform includes AI Campus 1 (CGK3/3A), AI Campus 2 (CGK4), and AI Campus 3 (CGK5), with 1.2GVA+ of secured grid capacity across its AI-ready campuses in Indonesia.

BDx Data Centers develops and operates AI-ready data center infrastructure across Asia-Pacific for hyperscale, cloud, AI, and enterprise customers. Transformed for AI and proven at speed, BDx is focused on converting secured power into powered, cooled, and operational capacity for customers scaling next-generation workloads. With operations in Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan region, BDx combines secured power access, high-density design, advanced cooling capabilities, standardized engineering, and local market execution to accelerate delivery across key digital markets. Backed by I Squared Capital, BDx provides the infrastructure platform customers need to move from power availability to live AI and cloud deployments across the region.
