Inside BDx's US$320m Push for AI Data Centre Expansion
BDx Data Centers has confirmed it has closed the deal on a new US$320m loan facility, marking a milestone in its plan to expand digital infrastructure across Asia.
The financing, led by Permata Bank, BCA and KB Bank, represents a show of confidence in BDx’s strategy as demand for data centre capacity rises alongside AI and cloud adoption.
The company is directing the funding towards power upgrades and debt refinancing while focusing on expanding campus infrastructure that supports high-density compute and hyperscale workloads.
Expanding AI-focused data centre campuses
A key focus for BDx is CGK3, its AI-focused data centre campus in Jakarta’s emerging central business district, which went live in September 2025.
The site is purpose-built for high-density compute infrastructure, supporting workloads that require advanced cooling and power delivery.
CGK3 stands among the first liquid-cooled campuses in Jakarta. The design supports power-intensive AI workloads used by enterprises and hyperscalers, where GPUs handle large-scale data processing.
The Jakarta market continues to expand as the demand for digital services increases. Enterprises and cloud providers require facilities that maintain performance under sustained load as AI applications scale across industries. BDx is developing CGK3 to meet these requirements through infrastructure that prioritises density and efficiency while also being reliable.
Alongside CGK3, BDx is also investing in its Jatiluhur and Suryacipta campuses, CGK4 and CGK5. These sites are under development to serve hyperscaler and AI customers from the US and across the region.
The company aims to increase high-voltage grid capacity at both campuses to 1.2 GVA, strengthening power availability for large-scale deployments.
Expanding high-voltage grid capacity allows operators to host more servers and meet growing demand without compromising uptime.
Financing structure and infrastructure investment
The US$320m facility also supports refinancing of existing debt on more favourable terms. This improves BDx’s financial flexibility as it continues to scale its portfolio across Southeast Asia.
Indonesia is a key market within the region’s digital economy. Growth in cloud computing and AI applications drives demand for localised data centre capacity. BDx is aligning its investments with this trend, focusing on energy-efficient facilities designed for long-term resilience.
Energy efficiency plays a central role in modern data centre design, and operators are aiming to reduce power usage effectiveness (PUE) so more power is directed to computing equipment rather than cooling or overhead systems.
Industry backing and execution strategy
The partnership with the Mandated Lead Arrangers, Bank Permata, BCA and KB Bank, highlights financial sector confidence in BDx’s delivery model. Their participation reflects the scale of investment that is now required to build and operate data centre campuses that meet hyperscale and AI requirements.
Mayank Srivastava, CEO of BDx Data Centers, says: "This financing represents a strong vote of confidence in BDx's vision and our role in enabling the next generation of digital and AI-driven growth in Asia.
"By investing in AI-optimised liquid-cooling infrastructure, high-voltage power platforms, and scalable campuses, we are developing the next generation of infrastructure for 'AI Factories' with ultra-high-density GPU workloads."
As AI factories require dense clusters of GPUs and reliable power supply to maintain performance, the investment will target BDx's aim to grow AI adoption within Asia and scale their campuses accordingly.
BDx continues to build its portfolio with a focus on scalability and reliability. As AI workloads are increasing, operators require infrastructure that adapts to higher densities and fluctuating demand.
Through targeted investment in Jakarta and beyond, BDx is expanding its capacity while maintaining alignment with customer requirements for performance and efficiency.
