Operations

Japan

AirTrunk has four hyperscale campuses in Japan: TOK1 and TOK2 in the Tokyo area, and OSK1 and OSK2 in Osaka. At full build-out, the four campuses are expected to deliver approximately 530 MW of total capacity.[3]

The flagship TOK1 campus, located in east Tokyo, is designed to scale to more than 300 MW of capacity. In March 2026, AirTrunk secured a JP¥191.6 billion (US$1.24 billion) green loan to refinance existing facilities and fund further development phases at TOK1 – the largest data centre financing ever completed in Japan.[3][4] The loan was structured under AirTrunk's Green Financing Framework and was led by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, MUFG Bank, Crédit Agricole CIB and Société Générale as global coordinators, with twelve banks participating in total.[3]

AirTrunk's total investment in Japan exceeds US$8 billion.[4]

India

In April 2026, AirTrunk announced the acquisition of Lumina CloudInfra, a data centre developer founded by Blackstone, to expand its presence in India.[2] The value of the deal was not disclosed. Lumina has 600 MW of planned capacity and up to US$5 billion in development potential.[2]

Sustainability

AirTrunk has committed to reaching net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. Its Green Financing Framework requires funded projects to meet energy-efficiency standards designed to ensure data centres operate more efficiently than regional averages. Margin incentives linked to its green loans are directed into the AirTrunk Social Impact Fund, which supports community initiatives including STEM education, digital equity programmes, and disaster relief.[4]
