Shares of Aurionpro Solutions ended more than 5% higher, after the company announced a significant order from a global data centre developer.
The deets: the company is helping upgrade and expand a big data centre in Mumbai so it can handle more cloud and AI traffic.
The new contract is about upgrading and expanding an existing data centre in Mumbai instead of building a new one from scratch.
The project will be rolled out over the next three quarters and includes full-stack engineering, construction, testing and commissioning, all delivered to global colocation standards within a live campus.
Why it matters: India currently has around 1.3–1.5 gigawatts (GW) of installed data centre capacity. This is expected to rise to roughly 1.7–1.8 GW by 2026–27 as new facilities become operational.
However, with AI, cloud computing and digital services growing rapidly, industry estimates suggest India may need over 4 GW by 2030, and some projections even point to 8 GW or more in the longer term.
In simple terms, India’s data centre capacity needs to at least triple over the next few years to keep up with rising digital demand.
