Techno Electric Launches $1B Digital Infrastructure Unit.

Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd. (TEECL), a prominent EPC service provider in India's energy sector, has announced its foray into the digital infrastructure domain with the launch of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Techno Digital Infra Pvt Ltd. Backed by a substantial investment plan of $1 billion, Techno Digital aims to establish a comprehensive network of both hyperscale and edge data centers across India, targeting a cumulative capacity of 250 MW.

Leveraging its extensive domain expertise in power infrastructure and a strong commitment to sustainability, TEECL stated that Techno Digital will focus on building an environmentally conscious network of data centers. This strategic move positions the company to capitalize on the burgeoning data economy in India.

"The decision to enter the digital infrastructure space is both timely and visionary," commented Padam Prakash Gupta, Managing Director of Techno Electric & Engineering Co Ltd. "India's data economy is poised for exponential growth, and with our legacy in power infrastructure and EPC, we see ourselves as natural enablers of this transformation. Techno Digital is not just a business venture—it's a national mission to bridge the digital divide and power a truly connected India."

This significant investment by Techno Electric signals a growing trend of established energy sector players diversifying into the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure market in India, driven by increasing data consumption and the government's push for digitalization. The company's focus on sustainability also aligns with the global emphasis on green data center practices.
