Techno Electric & Engineering Company Ltd (TEECL), a longstanding leader in India’s power infrastructure sector, has announced the establishment of its new digital infrastructure arm, Techno Digital Infra Pvt Ltd. Backed by a USD 1 billion investment, the company is developing a nationwide network of hyperscale and edge data centers with a target cumulative capacity of 250 MW. This move aligns with the national Digital India initiative and marks a significant expansion into next-generation infrastructure.
Drawing on over four decades of expertise in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), TEECL is now channeling its capabilities into building high-performance, sustainable, and energy-efficient data centers. Techno Digital aims to deliver scalable and secure infrastructure across both urban and regional locations, addressing growing demand from sectors such as artificial intelligence, financial services, OTT platforms, e-governance, and cloud computing.
Padam Prakash Gupta, Managing Director of TEECL, stated, “India’s digital economy is entering a phase of rapid expansion. Our transition into digital infrastructure is a natural progression, rooted in our core strengths in power and EPC. With Techno Digital, we are advancing a vision of nationwide connectivity and technological empowerment.”
The first major development under this plan is a 36 MW hyperscale data center in SIPCOT IT Park, Siruseri, Chennai. The facility spans approximately 200,000 square feet, will accommodate up to 2,400 server racks, and integrates key sustainability features including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), adiabatic cooling for reduced water usage, 25% green cover, and a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) target of 1.35. Future hyperscale locations will include Kolkata and Noida, supporting the company’s goal of becoming a national data infrastructure leader.
Amit Agrawal, President of Techno Digital, emphasized, “Our integrated strategy—combining hyperscale with edge deployment—will redefine data processing across sectors. This infrastructure supports AI, OTT, fintech, and other data-driven domains while ensuring accessibility and cost-efficiency across India.”
In a landmark development, Techno Digital has partnered with RailTel Corporation of India Ltd., under the Ministry of Railways, to build 102 edge data centers across 23 states. This will be one of India’s largest edge data center deployments, bringing low-latency computing capabilities to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. These facilities will enable real-time data processing for applications in AI, telecom, e-sports, healthcare, governance, and manufacturing.
Ankit Saraiya, Director & CEO of TEECL, commented, “Edge computing is essential for decentralizing digital infrastructure and ensuring data is processed close to its source. Our partnership with RailTel reinforces our commitment to a digitally inclusive India. This is not just a deployment—it’s a full ecosystem designed to lower energy use, reduce latency, and increase affordability.”
Techno Electric & Engineering is a leading Indian EPC firm in the power sector, with a strong track record in generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. Listed on the NSE and BSE, TEECL has a market capitalization exceeding USD 1.5 billion. The company is expanding into renewable energy and digital infrastructure with a focus on smart grid technologies, emission control, solar and wind energy, and battery storage solutions. Its entry into data centers reflects a strategic evolution toward supporting India’s twin transitions to cleaner energy and a digitally empowered economy. With top-tier credit ratings, TEECL offers unmatched financial stability and execution capability across all its ventures.
