This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Malaysia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Malaysia.

Where it sits

Klang Valley holds 33 active projects with 1,911 MW of planned IT load between them, and Infinaxis CDC1 ranks 15th by planned capacity. Of those, 5 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 10 are under construction, 7 are at the land and permitting stage and 6 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Klang Valley, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only Infinaxis project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from Gaw Capital Partners on the equity side and A3 Capital. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as operational on 20 January 2026.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Malaysia costs about US$0.14 per kWh as of July 2025, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Malaysia, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 20 January 2026, and last checked the record on 11 September 2026.

Money at this site

ArusGrid estimate, building costabout US$116m to US$173m

No figure has been announced. This range is 12 MW of planned IT load times a published benchmark of US$11.37 per watt for Malaysia, plus or minus 15 percent, with 10 percent more at the top for liquid cooling because the project is AI-positioned. It covers the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. It excludes land, grid works, servers and fees.

Benchmark: Turner & Townsend Data Centre Construction Cost Index 2025, as reported by Data Storage Asia. An estimate is never added to any total on the site.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Malaysia, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
