PKNS Unit to Build RM2.5 Billion Data Centre in Cyberjaya

“Selangor Industrial Corporation and DC Union will develop a RM2.5 billion, 65MW data centre in Cyberjaya while training 500 Nvidia-certified engineers annually.”

Kuala Lumpur, 24th June 2026, 02.10pm – Selangor Industrial Corporation Sdn Bhd (SIC), a subsidiary of Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS), has partnered with Data Centre Union Sdn Bhd (DC Union) to develop a RM2.5 billion data centre project in Cyberjaya.

The proposed facility will have a capacity of 65 megawatts (MW) and marks PKNS’ first entry into the data centre sector as the state agency expands into high-growth digital infrastructure assets.

The project will be undertaken through SIC Quantum Data Centre Sdn Bhd (SQDC), a joint venture between SIC and DC Union.

Under the collaboration, SIC will contribute its Cyberjaya landbank and development expertise, while DC Union will provide technical capabilities, funding and operational know-how.

Focus on AI Talent Development

Apart from building digital infrastructure, the partnership also aims to strengthen Malaysia’s technology talent pipeline.

According to the companies, the initiative targets the training of at least 500 Nvidia-certified engineers annually to support increasing demand for artificial intelligence, cloud computing and data centre operations.

The facility will utilise full immersion cooling technology, which is designed to improve energy efficiency compared with conventional cooling systems.

SIC group chief executive officer Saharom Mohni said the project supports the Selangor Smart State agenda by providing secure and resilient digital infrastructure for both public and private sector users.

Meanwhile, DC Union chief executive officer Tecsun Yeep said the collaboration could further strengthen Malaysia’s position as a regional AI and digital infrastructure hub.

Previous Cyberjaya Project

The latest venture comes about 10 months after SIC withdrew from an earlier joint venture with Silver Ridge Holdings Bhd to develop six data centres in Cyberjaya.

At the time, SIC said the project could not proceed because several land-related approvals and documentation requirements involving the proposed site had not been obtained.

Expanding Malaysia’s Digital Infrastructure Ecosystem

According to records from the Companies Commission of Malaysia, DC Union is involved in data hosting infrastructure, data processing and ICT security services.

The company is jointly owned by VJVS Group Sdn Bhd and Robust HPC Sdn Bhd.
