In a landmark step toward advancing Pakistan’s digital transformation, XDS DATACENTRE and Al Nahal IT Park & Data Center have signed an agreement to jointly develop Pakistan’s first AI Liquid Immersion Datacentre.
The signing ceremony took place at GITEX Global 2025, witnessed by the Honourable Ms. Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister for Information Technology & Telecommunication, Government of Pakistan.
The state-of-the-art facility will be established in Karachi, with a Disaster Recovery site as well, marking a significant milestone in the country’s data infrastructure and AI readiness.
While large-scale data centre construction typically requires extended timelines, XDS DATACENTRE has accelerated delivery through its Containerized Data Centre Solution, providing immediate access to AI compute capacity for enterprise and public sector customers.
“This is the right time to introduce AI GPU technology to Pakistan, and we are grateful for the government’s strong support of such initiatives. We also appreciate XDS DATACENTRE for collaborating with us to develop a program aimed at upskilling our youth in advanced technologies,” said Mehboob Ul Haq, CEO of Al Nahal IT Park & Data Center Pakistan.
Speaking at the signing, a representative of XDS DATACENTRE expressed pride in the company’s contribution to Pakistan’s digital ecosystem.
“As a British Pakistani, it is my personal mission to deliver world-class digital infrastructure and AI innovation to Pakistan—on time and to the highest global standards,” stated Ghufran Hamid, CEO of XDS DATACENTRE.
This partnership underscores a growing commitment to bringing cutting-edge AI and cloud technologies to emerging markets, positioning Pakistan as a regional hub for digital innovation.
