TEECL Launches $1 Billion Digital Infrastructure Arm with Focus on AI-Ready Data Centers

TEECL Launches Techno Digital Infra with $1 Billion Investment Plan

The company plans to integrate a hyperscale network and edge data centres, targeting a combined capacity of 250 MW across India. Techno Electric & Engineering Company (TEECL) announced the launch of Techno Digital Infra on Tuesday. This digital infrastructure arm is backed by a $1 billion investment plan. Techno Digital Infra plans to integrate a hyperscale network and edge data centres, targeting a combined capacity of 250 MW across India. This project aligns with the country's flagship programme, Digital India. The project operations will start in Chennai, where Techno is building a 36 MW hyperscale data centre within the SIPCOT IT Park in Siruseri. The facility spans 2 lakh square feet and could store up to 2400 racks. It integrates renewable energy with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for continuous sustainability, adiabatic cooling for water efficiency, 25% green cover, and a facility PUI of 1.35. "We are not just building data centres, we are powering India's digital revolution.  Our hybrid strategy, integrating hyperscale and edge, will redefine how data is hosted, processed, and delivered. Whether AI, OTT, fintech, or governance, our infrastructure is designed for the next decade of digital growth," said the president of Techno Digital, Amit Agrawal. Kolkata and Noida are some of the chosen locations for these hyperscale facilities. Techno has also partnered with RailTel Corporation of India, under the Ministry of Railways, to develop Edge data centres in 102 cities across 23 states. The project is also claimed to be the largest deployment of its kind, bringing low-latency computing closer to its users in Tier 2 and 3 cities. The hybrid infrastructure strategy would uplift sectors like AI, BFSI, telecom, OTT, e-sports, healthcare, e-governance, and manufacturing. Ankit Saraiya, director and CEO of TEECL, said: "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. We are honoured to be RailTel's trusted partner in this national mission." In September 2024, RailTel Corporation of India awarded TEECL a contract to design, build, finance, operate, and transfer edge data centres (EDCs). According to reports, EDCS play a significant role in meeting low latency and high bandwidth requirements essential for digital skills, financial inclusion, digital health, and literacy.

TEECL Launches USD 1 Billion Digital Infra Arm, Partners with RailTel to Develop 102 Edge Data Centers

Edge data centers to be deployed in 102 cities via partnership with RailTel. Techno Electric and Engineering Company Limited (TEECL) has officially launched Techno Digital Infra Private Limited, its new wholly-owned digital infrastructure arm, backed by a USD 1 billion investment. On Tuesday, Techno Digital announced plans to develop an integrated network of hyperscale and edge data centers, targeting a cumulative capacity of 250 MW spread across India. "This strategic move marks a transformative leap to revolutionise India's digital economy, aligned with the Government of India's flagship programme, Digital India," the company said in a statement on May 6, 2025.

"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 Digital is commencing operations in Chennai, where it is constructing a 36 MW hyperscale data center within SIPCOT IT Park, Siruseri. The Rated-3 facility, spanning approximately 200,000 square feet, will house up to 2,400 racks. It integrates renewable energy with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to ensure continuous sustainability, uses adiabatic cooling for water efficiency, maintains 25 percent green cover, and is designed for a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.35. Future hyperscale data center sites are planned in Kolkata and Noida. Hyperscale data centers are large facilities that store and process massive workloads and data for enterprises, enabling global-scale cloud services and AI workloads. TEECL said it is leveraging its deep domain expertise in power infrastructure and sustainability to build India's most efficient, reliable, and eco-conscious network of data centers.
