Techno Electric & Engineering Co. Ltd (TEECL), a provider of power infrastructure solutions, has unveiled a $1 billion investment plan to develop a cumulative data center capacity of 250 MW across India.
TEECL has launched Techno Digital Infra, its wholly-owned digital infrastructure arm, as it plans to develop an integrated network of hyperscale and edge data centers.
“The decision to enter the digital infrastructure space is both timely and visionary,” said Padam Prakash Gupta, managing director, 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.”
Techno is building a 36 MW hyperscale data center at SIPCOT IT Park in Siruseri, Chennai. The facility spans around 200,000 sq. ft, houses up to 2,400 racks, and integrates renewable energy with battery energy storage systems (BESS). It features advanced sustainability measures, including adiabatic cooling for water efficiency (WUE), 25% green cover, and a facility design with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.35. Future locations for hyperscale facilities include Kolkata and Noida.
“We are not just building data centers—we are powering India’s digital revolution,” said Amit Agrawal, president, Techno Digital. “Our hybrid strategy, integrating hyperscale and edge, will redefine how data is hosted, processed, and delivered. Whether it’s AI, OTT, fintech, or e-governance, our infrastructure is built for the next decade of digital growth.”
RailTel partnership
Techno has partnered with RailTel Corp. of India Ltd, a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, to develop 102 Edge Data Centers across 23 states. This landmark project will be the largest deployments of its kind, bringing low-latency computing closer to users in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, empowering sectors such as AI, BFSI, telecom, OTT, e-sports, healthcare, e-governance, and manufacturing.
“This partnership with RailTel embodies our core belief that digital infrastructure should be democratized to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge-based economy,” said Ankit Saraiya, director & CEO, Techno Electric & Engineering Co. Ltd. “From AI workloads and 5G to cloud-native applications, we’re enabling India to process data where it’s consumed, reducing latency, energy use, and cost. Our edge deployment model is not just technically superior, it’s a complete ecosystem that encompasses all aspects of a digital infrastructure.”
