Viettel Tan Phu Trung Data Center & High-Tech R&D Complex is a data center project in Cu Chi, Vietnam, operated by Viettel IDC (Viettel Group). It is under construction. It is planned for about 100 MW of IT load, a figure ArusGrid derived from a published total.
Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 23 April 2025. Record last checked against its sources on 22 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Tenant or own use.
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 Vietnam approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Vietnam.
HCMC metro holds 10 active projects with 722 MW of planned IT load between them, and Viettel Tan Phu Trung Data Center & High-Tech R&D Complex ranks 4th by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational, 1 is under construction, 5 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in HCMC metro was 34.8% as of June 2026, on 33 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.
Viettel has 2 others in Vietnam tracked by ArusGrid, including Viettel An Khanh Data Center and Viettel IDC Hoa Lac. It sits on the Tan Phu Trung IP (Cu Chi) campus alongside SGI-HCM Campus (AI Data Center Complex). Named funding comes from Viettel Group on the equity side. 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 build is phased. Phase 1 is under construction with a 2026 target; Full build at 140 MW is announced with a 2030 target. The stage was recorded as under construction on 23 April 2025. The money on record is VND 14,700bn (about US$579m) as of October 2024, the announced investment. Power comes from EVNHCMC through grid supply (reported, unconfirmed).
Grid power for a large industrial user in Vietnam costs about US$0.073 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Vietnam, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “Licence required as enforced (Country Group D:1), no named authorisation found”. ArusGrid holds 8 public sources for this project, the latest dated 24 April 2025, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
Marketed by Viettel as Vietnam's first hyperscale (>100MW) DC, designed for AI workloads and high-performance chips; PUE <1.4 target. Viettel has a standing Nvidia relationship (the Dec 2024 Vietnam-Nvidia agreement explicitly covers expansion of a Viettel AI data centre). No dated source for liquid cooling or actual GPU deployment at THIS site, so 'likely' not 'confirmed'.
Nothing found in the public record. This describes the record, not the company, and it is not evidence that access was sought or denied. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
No published price band exists for Vietnam, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
