The PSU on Friday launched its first two data centres at Worli and Belapur and plans to open one each in Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad in the current year.

"The data centres would provide an impetus to the MTNL's data focused strategy and will be a new business stream for the company. We will open three more such facilities in Hyderabad, Chennai and Delhi," MTNL's Chairman and Managing Director, Kuldip Singh, told reporters here.

The Mumbai facility, being launched in technical collaboration with IIT-Bombay''s Gigabit Networking Laboratory, will be operational next month, Singh said.

On its broadband penetration, Singh said that it has a capacity of 16-lakh subscribers. It already has 9-lakh customers in Delhi nad Mumbai. This year it is targeting to add another 2.5-lakh subscribers in both the cities.
