Energy Capital Global Pte Ltd proposes ₹41,750 crore investment in 100 MW hyperscale data centre; CM Vishnu Deo Sai hands over ‘Investment Invitation Letter’ to Singapore-based company

Singapore & New Delhi: Chhattisgarh has received FDI proposals worth ₹43,250 crore at the inaugural SING Forum 2026 in Singapore, including a ₹41,750 crore proposal from Singapore-based Energy Capital Global Pte Ltd for setting up a 100 MW hyperscale data centre in the state. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai handed over a formal ‘Investment Invitation Letter’ to Energy Capital Global Pte Ltd for the proposed project and invited Singapore investors to explore investment opportunities in Chhattisgarh.

The ₹41,750 crore proposed hyperscale data centre investment is being seen as an important step in Chhattisgarh’s emergence beyond its traditional industrial base and its growing positioning as a hub for data, digital infrastructure and new-age technologies. Such a large-scale project could strengthen the state’s digital capabilities while creating opportunities for new technology companies and investors. The investment proposals also reflect the growing confidence of international companies in Chhattisgarh’s investment environment and reinforce its emerging identity as a destination for digital and technology-led investment.

Commenting on the investment proposals, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said, “At SING Forum 2026, we secured FDI commitments worth ₹43,250 crore, led by a ₹41,750 crore commitment from Singapore’s Energy Capital Global for a 100 MW hyperscale data centre in our State. When a global company places such a large bet on Chhattisgarh, it is a powerful statement of trust in our policies, our potential and our people. This is just the beginning. Many more global partners will follow, and Chhattisgarh is ready to welcome them.”

The Singapore-India Network for Growth (SING) Forum is an international business platform designed to strengthen strategic economic engagement between Singapore and India. The forum brings together policymakers, market development experts and enterprises to promote cooperation across high-value sectors including technology, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and digital ecosystems. It also seeks to build long-term business-to-business partnerships and develop commercial ecosystems that combine Singapore’s global expertise with the scale of India’s growth opportunities.

Earlier, on the second day of his Singapore visit, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai interacted with representatives of the industry at the SING Forum and invited them to explore investment opportunities in Chhattisgarh. He highlighted the state’s industrial capabilities, natural resources and emerging investment opportunities.

Sai said Chhattisgarh is no longer limited to minerals and traditional industries but is rapidly emerging as a destination for technology, innovation and global investment. The state government is working to develop Chhattisgarh as one of the country’s leading industrial and investment hubs by combining its natural resources with modern technology.

He said Singapore’s technological capabilities and experience in urban development, combined with Chhattisgarh’s industrial potential, can open up new avenues for growth and collaboration. The state government is committed to providing investors with a conducive policy environment and the necessary support to facilitate investments.

The SING Forum also saw discussions on potential collaboration in areas including technology and professional capability centres, logistics, green energy, industrial infrastructure and urban development. Sai said the Chhattisgarh-Singapore partnership can promote not only investment but also employment generation, skill development and technology transfer.

The ₹43,250 crore investment proposals received at SING Forum 2026 underscore the growing interest among international investors in Chhattisgarh and represent an important step towards strengthening the state’s position as a destination for digital infrastructure, technology and global investment.
