DAMAC Digital Brings Data Centre to Support Indonesia's Digital Ascendancy
Jakarta – Global digital infrastructure company DAMAC Digital has launched a data centre in Jakarta to support Indonesia’s emergence as a new digital power in Asia.
DAMAC Digital founder Hussain Sajwani stated that the company is demonstrating its support for Indonesia’s vision to become a digital powerhouse in Asia, with the topping-off ceremony scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. “The first phase is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2026, further demonstrating our commitment to strengthening DAMAC Digital’s portfolio across Southeast Asia,” Sajwani said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday.
The infrastructure, dubbed JKT01–Jakarta Central, represents Indonesia’s first data centre facility. The building, constructed with a total investment value of $150 million (approximately 2.3 trillion rupiah), is expected to become operational this year.
Sajwani explained that the topping-off of JKT01–Jakarta Central marks a significant achievement in completing the structural work of the building located in MT Haryono, Jakarta. He noted that the process represents substantial construction progress completed in just six months since the groundbreaking phase in August 2025.
He further stated that the topping-off also demonstrates the successful completion of the primary structure and operational foundation of the Jakarta data centre. This moment, he said, evidences the dedication and collaboration of teams in delivering the highest quality standards.
He also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to ensuring smooth project completion to deliver sustained benefits and added value for all business partners and stakeholders in Indonesia.
“This construction milestone showcases our engineering excellence and long-term strategy. With scalable infrastructure, we are ready to support Indonesia’s objective to become one of Asia’s new digital powerhouses,” he said.
Sajwani further emphasised that the project reflects the company’s vision to strengthen Indonesia’s digital economy ecosystem.
“We are pleased to see rapid construction progress completed within a short timeframe to meet the demand for next-generation data centre services,” he said.
The Jakarta Data Centre (JKT-01) development plan was first announced in 2024. The total investment value stands at $150 million (approximately 2.3 trillion rupiah).
“The MT Haryono location selection was strategically considered because this area is within the most connected data centre cluster and can serve as a data hub in Jakarta,” Sajwani said.
The JKT-01 building features six storeys across 3,600 square metres of land with a constructed area of 15,080 square metres and will distribute 19.2 MW of power.
“JKT-01 will have three data halls, each approximately 760 square metres, specifically designed to deliver energy efficiency, support sustainable operations, and align with global green data centre standards,” Sajwani said.
He added that JKT-01 is projected to meet growing demand from Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and edge computing deployment. The first phase is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2026.
“This phase demonstrates DAMAC Digital’s portfolio presence across Southeast Asia, beginning with Jakarta,” he said.
