What Princeton Digital Group does
Princeton Digital Group (PDG) is a Pan-Asia hyperscale data center operator headquartered in Singapore, founded in 2017 and backed by Warburg Pincus, Mubadala, Stonepeak, and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. The company operates over 20 data centers across seven markets — Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, China, Japan, and South Korea — with operational capacity exceeding 1.1 GW and a development pipeline targeting 1.8 GW. PDG's product portfolio centers on the SG+® regional strategy spanning Singapore, Johor, and Batam, complemented by dedicated national campuses in each market: JH1 (200 MW) and JH2 (300 MW planned) in Malaysia, MU1 (150 MW flagship), MU2 (120 MW), CH1 (72 MW), and HY1 (90 MW) in India, JC3/JC4 in Indonesia, LF1/LF2, SH1, NJ1, and NT1 in China, TY1 (96 MW) in Japan, and SE1 (48 MW) in South Korea.
PDG's core technology centers on AI-ready hyperscale infrastructure featuring high-density designs (up to 36 kW per rack), advanced liquid cooling, OCP Ready v2 certification, and a proprietary DCIM platform for real-time Power Usage Effectiveness monitoring and operational optimization. The company has accumulated industry-first certifications including IGBC Platinum (MU1 Mumbai), first OCP Ready™ facilities in Singapore and India, and Uptime Tier III design certification. All major facilities hold multiple ISO certifications (9001, 27001, 20000, 22301, 45001, 50001, 14001) and SOC 1/2 Type 2 attestations, with PDG committing to net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and securing sustainability-linked loan structures.
PDG's business model is asset-heavy colocation sold primarily through direct enterprise sales to hyperscale cloud providers and large technology customers. Revenue is generated via multi-year subscription contracts for wholesale and retail colocation, including whitespace raised floor rentals, full hyperscale deployments, and build-to-suit campus development. The company partners with real estate developers (e.g., Lendlease in Japan, JLand Group in Malaysia) for core-and-shell construction while PDG invests in mechanical and electrical equipment and operates the facilities. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Long-term renewable energy agreements with Tata Power Renewable Energy, PLN Indonesia, Cikarang Listrindo, and Pertamina Patra Niaga support the sustainability value proposition increasingly demanded by hyperscaler customers.
