New Delhi, May 17 (PTI) Targeting the surging demand for low-latency and AI-ready infrastructure, Techno Digital -- the digital infrastructure arm of Techno Electric and Engineering Company (TEECL) -- has
launched a new Edge Data Center (EDC) in Mahalaxmi, South Mumbai, built with an investment of approximately Rs 25 crore.
It marks Techno Digital's second edge data centre in the country, following its operational facility in Gurugram.
Developed in a 20-year revenue-sharing partnership with RailTel Corporation of India -- an Indian Railways subsidiary -- the 800-kW facility is designed to serve Mumbai's critical financial, media, and operational ecosystems.
"The Mumbai Edge Data Center has been developed as a high-performance edge infrastructure facility with an investment of approximately Rs 25 crore. The facility has been purpose-built to support low-latency, AI-ready, and performance-critical enterprise workloads within Mumbai's financial and operational ecosystem.
"This investment forms part of Techno Digital's broader USD 1 billion vision to build one of India's largest interconnected networks of AI-ready digital infrastructure spanning hyperscale campuses, edge data centres, cloud, and network ecosystems," Techno Digital Director and CEO Ankit Saraiya told PTI.
By the end of FY27, more than half of the broader USD 1 billion investment vision is expected to be committed across ongoing and upcoming developments, including the Chennai hyperscale campus, the Noida and Kolkata hyperscale developments, the Mumbai and Gurugram edge data centres and the initial phases of the RailTel edge rollout, he added.
During FY27, the company expects to initiate execution across five additional locations, including Indore, Vizag, Chandigarh, Prayagraj, and Lucknow.
The Mumbai facility is already receiving encouraging market response, seeing strong interest from both government and private sector organisations, particularly within the BFSI ecosystem.
"There is particularly strong interest from organisations operating around the Lower Parel, Worli, BKC, and South Mumbai financial corridors that require infrastructure closer to exchanges, users, and real-time operational environments," Saraiya said.
The facility houses 55 racks and leverages RailTel's expansive 63,000+ km nationwide fibre network to provide a carrier-neutral, sovereign-grade infrastructure ecosystem.
Techno Digital is targeting 250 MW of combined hyperscale and edge infrastructure capacity by 2030, of which approximately 70 MW is already under development or in advanced stages of execution. PTI ANK TRB
