Schneider Electric has announced the launch of a new Motivair liquid cooling solutions manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, marking the company’s first production site for this technology in India and its third worldwide. The plant is aimed at supporting India’s fast-growing data center sector by producing advanced cooling systems needed for high-density computing environments powering artificial intelligence and digital services.
As India expands its digital infrastructure, demand for computing power is rising sharply. High-performance AI chips generate significant heat, making traditional air-cooling systems less effective. Liquid cooling technology offers greater efficiency and improved thermal management, enabling data centers to operate reliably while reducing energy consumption.
Manish Pant, Executive Vice President of International Operations at Schneider Electric, said the new facility will help meet India’s need for efficient, scalable infrastructure to support data-driven growth. He noted that advanced cooling technologies are essential for ensuring sustainable operations as computing requirements continue to increase.
The Bengaluru facility will serve both domestic and global markets and will become part of Schneider Electric’s worldwide supply chain alongside similar plants in the United States and Italy. The investment also aligns with the upcoming India–France Year of Innovation 2026, an initiative announced by the governments of India and France to promote collaboration in technology and industry.
Deepak Sharma, Zone President for Greater India and Managing Director and CEO of Schneider Electric India, said the company sees India evolving from a user of advanced digital infrastructure to a producer of technology solutions for global markets. He added that local manufacturing capacity is critical for supporting the growth of AI-ready data centers and strengthening supply chains.
Schneider Electric provides power management, cooling, and digital monitoring systems to many hyperscale data centers and supercomputing facilities worldwide. A large share of global data centers rely on its solutions for energy efficiency and operational reliability. The new Bengaluru facility will extend these capabilities by enabling local production of advanced cooling systems, improving availability and reducing deployment timelines.
The company will also present its range of AI data center solutions at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, highlighting technologies designed to improve efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in digital infrastructure. Schneider Electric is a global energy management and automation company focused on helping customers use energy more efficiently through digital innovation and integrated solutions.
Schneider Electric has a long-standing presence in India, with multiple manufacturing facilities, research and development centres, and a strong ecosystem of partners and suppliers. The company has consistently increased localisation levels to better serve domestic demand and enhance export competitiveness.
