Techno Electric & Engineering Company is set to invest USD one billion over the next five to seven years to develop approx. 250 MW of data centre capacity across India.

The company’s first data centre, located in Chennai with a capacity of 5.6 MW, is expected to become operational within a month. This strategic foray into the data centre space is driven by growing demand for digital infrastructure and aligns with the company's plan to expand into hyperscale, edge, and interconnected facilities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Techno Digital Infra. The company’s future plans include data centres in Noida and Kolkata, and edge centres through a partnership with RailTel Corporation of India.

Techno Electric aims to deliver on project timelines by leveraging its robust experience in the EPC sector. The company continues to see strong growth in its core EPC business due to rising renewable energy deployment in India. The initiative marks a major pivot for the company into India’s fast-growing digital economy, positioning it to be a key player in supporting cloud services, enterprise computing, and national data needs.
