Techno Digital, the digital infrastructure arm of Techno Electric & Engineering Company Limited, has commissioned its Mumbai Edge Data Center in Mahalaxmi, South Mumbai, in partnership with RailTel Corporation of India. Developed as a Rated-3 facility, the edge data centre has been positioned to support low-latency enterprise applications and real-time digital workloads in Mumbai’s financial and commercial districts. The company stated that the facility delivers latency of less than 150 microseconds from BSE at Nariman Point and less than 250 microseconds from NSE in BKC. The commissioning forms part of Techno Digital’s wider strategy to establish a distributed edge infrastructure network across more than 100 Indian cities through its partnership with RailTel, with additional facilities planned in the coming months.
Techno Digital has commissioned its Mumbai Edge Data Center (EDC) in Mahalaxmi, South Mumbai, as part of its broader rollout of distributed digital infrastructure facilities across India.

The company stated that the Mumbai EDC has been designed to address latency-related infrastructure requirements for enterprises operating in Mumbai’s major financial and commercial districts. According to Techno Digital, the facility delivers latency of less than 150 microseconds from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) at Nariman Point and less than 250 microseconds from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), enabling faster execution and improved responsiveness for real-time applications and transaction-based platforms.
Located in Mahalaxmi, the edge data centre has been positioned near key business districts including BKC, Nariman Point, Worli, Lower Parel and Fort. The company stated that proximity to these commercial clusters enables enterprises to deploy infrastructure closer to operational demand centres, particularly for applications requiring low-latency computing and rapid data processing.
According to the company, the facility has been integrated with RailTel’s fibre infrastructure network spanning more than 63,000 km across India, allowing connectivity support for enterprises operating across multiple locations. The data centre has also been designed to support sovereign and compliance-driven workloads, including applications requiring domestic hosting and controlled infrastructure environments.
Techno Digital stated that the location’s proximity to Mumbai’s cable landing stations further strengthens the facility’s global connectivity capabilities while maintaining low-latency performance within domestic networks. The company indicated that the edge data centre has been developed as a compact and cost-efficient infrastructure model intended for enterprises requiring high-performance digital infrastructure without large-scale hyperscale deployments.
Ankit Saraiya, director and chief executive officer of Techno Digital, stated that digital infrastructure demand in India was increasingly being shaped by requirements linked to proximity and performance rather than capacity alone. He added that the Mumbai facility formed part of the company’s strategy to create a distributed network of interconnected edge infrastructure aligned with economic and digital activity centres.
Amit Agrawal, president of Techno Digital, stated that infrastructure placement had become increasingly critical in environments where milliseconds affect operational outcomes. He added that the facility had been designed to support latency-sensitive workloads including trading platforms, fintech systems, real-time artificial intelligence inferencing and enterprise applications.
The Mumbai facility forms part of Techno Digital’s partnership with RailTel to establish a distributed network of edge data centres across more than 100 Indian cities. The company stated that it plans to launch five additional edge locations in the near term and aims to scale the network to 102 locations over the next three to four years.
Techno Digital operates under the infrastructure and engineering platform of Techno Electric & Engineering Company Limited, which has over four decades of experience in power infrastructure development. The company is currently expanding its digital infrastructure portfolio through hyperscale and edge data centre projects across major Indian markets.
