manufacturing-news

The Security Solutions business of Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) has expanded into India’s growing data centre security market with a mandate from Yotta and NTT Data Center to deploy an integrated Key Management Solution connected with the Genetec security platform. The mandate follows a successful live demonstration of the solution, which highlighted centralised key management, operational efficiency, compatibility with existing and future Genetec software versions and stronger security controls.

The opportunity was developed through Godrej’s technology partnership with Genetec, which recommended the solution based on its integration capabilities and experience in critical infrastructure security. Godrej said it is currently the only organisation in India with this Genetec integration. The initial requirement covered one data centre but was subsequently expanded to multiple facilities following strong engagement between Godrej, Yotta and NTT.

India’s data centre industry is expanding rapidly as demand rises from artificial intelligence, cloud computing, digital payments, enterprise digitisation, e-governance and data localisation. Operational data centre capacity in the country is expected to exceed 3 GW by 2028, increasing the need for security systems that can support resilience, compliance and uninterrupted operations.

For data centre operators, security is moving beyond conventional physical protection. Integrated access management, key management, monitoring and audit-ready systems are becoming increasingly important as facilities handle critical digital infrastructure.

Godrej Enterprises Group is bringing its experience in securing airports, banks, government establishments, manufacturing plants and other critical facilities to the digital infrastructure sector. Its Security Solutions business is expanding from traditional physical security services to technology-led solutions for mission-critical environments.

Pushkar Gokhale, Business Head, Security Solutions, Godrej Enterprises Group, said the company was strengthening its capabilities to meet the changing security requirements of India’s digital economy. “As India’s digital economy continues to expand, data centres are becoming critical infrastructure assets that power everything from cloud services and AI workloads to digital payments and enterprise operations. Securing such infrastructure requires solutions that go beyond standalone systems and deliver end-to-end visibility, traceability, integration and operational efficiency at scale,” Mr Gokhale said. He added that the company’s work with data centre operators reflects the growing connection between physical security, digital infrastructure and technology platforms.

Godrej Enterprises Group is targeting ₹50 crore in revenue from the data centre segment over the next two years. The company plans to expand its offerings across integrated security, key management, access control and infrastructure protection for mission-critical facilities.

The latest mandate is expected to strengthen the Security Solutions business as it builds its presence in India’s expanding digital infrastructure sector. The company will continue to combine its research, development and engineering capabilities with technology partnerships to deliver security solutions for critical physical and digital assets.
