PDG first in APAC with OCP Ready v2 hyperscale status
Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has announced OCP Ready v2 for Hyperscale certification covering three of its flagship AI-ready campuses – TY1 in Greater Tokyo, JH1 in Johor and MU1 in Mumbai – making each the first in its country to receive the distinction.
The recognition underscores PDG’s position in building infrastructure for hyperscalers in the AI and cloud era.
Flagship campuses designed for AI workloads
In Japan, the TY1 campus in Saitama City offers 96 MW of capacity and supports power densities of over 140 kW per rack, placing it among the highest globally.
It features liquid cooling and recently earned NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center partner certification for this capability.
In Malaysia, the JH1 campus in Sedenak Tech Park spans three buildings across 128,000 square metres, making it one of Southeast Asia’s largest AI-ready facilities. It offers 170 MW of total capacity to support hyperscale and AI customers.
In India, the MU1 campus in Airoli, Navi Mumbai provides 150 MW of IT capacity across five buildings, powered by a dedicated 220 kV GIS substation. MU1 runs on renewable energy and is the first in Mumbai to earn IGBC Platinum certification.
Meeting the demands of hyperscale growth
Varoon Raghavan, COO and Co-founder of PDG, says the achievement aligns with customer expectations.
“The demands of AI and hyperscale computing are redefining digital infrastructure, and PDG is at the forefront with TY1, JH1 and MU1 now OCP Ready v2 certified for hyperscale,” he says. “This rigorous certification aligns with our mission to deliver future-ready solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
The OCP Ready v2 for Hyperscale programme is built on community-developed standards for facilities designed to handle large-scale workloads.
The evaluation covers logistics, site access, infrastructure, power, cooling and connectivity. Meeting these requirements gives hyperscalers confidence in a site’s capabilities early in their planning, allowing faster deployment.
An industry benchmark for hyperscale colocation
George Tchaparian, CEO of the OCP Foundation, says the programme provides clarity for the industry.
“The OCP Ready v2 for Hyperscale programme sets a clear benchmark for hyperscale-grade colocation,” he says. “PDG’s achievement reflects a strong commitment to OCP’s community-defined best practices. It provides hyperscalers with trusted, high-quality options in strategic Asia Pacific markets.”
The three certified campuses are now listed on the OCP Marketplace, making them visible to hyperscalers seeking pre-qualified facilities in the region.
Strategic positioning in Asia Pacific
PDG operates across some of the fastest-growing digital economies in the APAC region. The company’s presence in Japan, Malaysia and India puts it in key strategic markets for AI, hyperscale and cloud operators seeking low-latency connections and high-density capacity.
By securing OCP Ready v2 for Hyperscale certification, PDG strengthens its ability to serve global hyperscalers looking for trusted partners to support expansion. The combination of high-density power, advanced cooling and renewable energy integration positions PDG’s facilities for the next wave of AI infrastructure demand.
The certification also supports PDG’s focus on sustainability. MU1’s use of renewable energy and IGBC Platinum status, TY1’s liquid cooling efficiencies, and the large-scale capacity at JH1 demonstrate an approach to combining operational performance with environmental responsibility.
As hyperscale workloads continue to grow in complexity and scale, operators in Asia Pacific face increasing pressure to meet both technical and sustainability benchmarks. PDG’s OCP Ready v2 certification marks a clear signal to the market that its campuses are equipped to deliver on both fronts.
