Techno Electric & Engineering Company Limited has officially launched its wholly owned digital infrastructure subsidiary, Techno Digital Infra Pvt Ltd, with an ambitious investment of USD 1 billion. The company aims to develop a network of hyperscale and edge data centers with a cumulative capacity of 250 MW across India.
The initiative is aligned with India's Digital India mission and will start with a 36 MW hyperscale data center in Chennai's SIPCOT IT Park. The facility will integrate renewable energy and advanced energy-efficient solutions like Battery Energy Storage Systems and adiabatic cooling.
Additionally, Techno Electric has entered into a strategic partnership with RailTel Corporation of India Ltd to set up 102 edge data centers across 23 states. These deployments are intended to enhance low-latency computing across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, supporting sectors such as AI, BFSI, telecom, OTT, e-sports, healthcare, and e-governance.
Company officials emphasized that the venture is not just about building infrastructure but about enabling India's digital revolution. The company's strong foundation in EPC and power infrastructure provides a robust platform for this digital pivot.
With this move, Techno Electric is positioning itself as a leading player in India's rapidly expanding digital and data infrastructure landscape.
