The company aims to create a nationwide network of hyperscale and edge data centres with a combined capacity of 250 MW, supporting the goals of the Digital India initiative.

The first facility is under development in Chennai's SIPCOT IT Park, with a 36 MW hyperscale centre spanning 200,000 sq ft and housing up to 2,400 racks. It features adiabatic cooling, battery energy storage, 25 per cent green cover, and a power usage index of 1.35.

President Amit Agrawal said the company鈥檚 hybrid model will reshape how India hosts and processes data, targeting sectors like AI, OTT, fintech, and governance.

Techno Digital also plans facilities in Kolkata and Noida and has partnered with RailTel to build edge data centres in 102 cities. These edge sites will support faster data access in Tier 2 and 3 cities, cutting latency and boosting sectors from healthcare to e-sports.

TEECL CEO Ankit Saraiya said the edge model offers reduced costs, lower energy use, and stronger support for applications like 5G and cloud computing. The project is expected to significantly advance India鈥檚 digital infrastructure ecosystem.
