Enterprise technology infrastructure provider Aurionpro Solutions has secured a multi-year contract valued at nearly INR 350 crore from a hyperscale operator to develop a large data centre facility in southern India. The project involves the creation of an artificial intelligence-ready green data centre designed to support high-density computing workloads and next-generation digital infrastructure requirements. Under the contract, the company will undertake the design, detailed engineering and full execution of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works. The project commenced earlier this month and is expected to be completed over the next six to seven quarters. The contract comes amid rapid expansion in India's data centre sector, where capacity reached approximately 1.5 gigawatts in 2025 and is projected to grow to around 2 gigawatts by the end of 2026.

The company stated that the mandate involves the development of a green data centre designed to support high-density computing workloads and advanced digital infrastructure requirements associated with artificial intelligence and large-scale data processing.
Under the contract, Aurionpro will undertake comprehensive responsibilities including the design, detailed engineering and end-to-end execution of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems required for the data centre's operations. The project will be executed by the company's in-house team specialising in mission-critical infrastructure design and engineering.
According to a company spokesperson, work on the project commenced earlier this month and the facility is expected to be delivered over a period of six to seven quarters.
The development is intended to support next-generation computing environments that require advanced power, cooling and operational infrastructure capable of handling large volumes of data processing. AI-driven computing applications typically require significantly higher power densities and infrastructure resilience compared with conventional data centre facilities.
Aurionpro indicated that the project represents the company's first initiative involving an AI-ready data centre. The company described the development as a step towards participating in the expanding digital infrastructure ecosystem in India.
Ashish Rai, Group Chief Executive Officer of Aurionpro Solutions, indicated that the data centre sector in India is experiencing sustained expansion due to rising demand for digital services, cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence workloads. He noted that demand for data centre capacity is currently exceeding available supply, which is creating significant opportunities for infrastructure developers and technology service providers.
Industry data cited by the company indicates that India's data centre capacity reached around 1.5 gigawatts in 2025. The sector is expected to continue expanding, with capacity projected to reach approximately 2 gigawatts by the end of 2026.
The growth in data centre development has been supported by increasing adoption of cloud services, expansion of digital platforms, artificial intelligence computing requirements and data localisation regulations that require companies to store certain categories of data within the country.
The project in southern India forms part of a broader trend in which hyperscale operators, technology companies and infrastructure providers are investing in large-scale data facilities across key regions of the country.
Aurionpro stated that the contract also reflects its strategy to expand capabilities in mission-critical infrastructure and technology-led facilities. The company expects that successful delivery of the project could open further opportunities in the high-growth data centre infrastructure segment as demand for digital and computing capacity continues to expand across the country.
