Vertiv Strengthens Commitment to India's Burgeoning Data Center
Vertiv , a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity
solutions, has today inaugurated a new manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune,
to meet the surging demand for data centers and supporting infrastructure
solutions in India. Complementing Vertiv’s existing manufacturing facilities in
Ambernath and Pune, the new plant manufactures thermal management products and
solutions tailored for data centers, telecom, commercial and industrial
applications, catering to both domestic and international markets.
Spanning 210,000 square feet/19,510 square meters, the facility supports
the manufacturing of cooling solutions ranging from 200W to 2MW+, including
adiabatic free cooling chillers, large custom air handling units (AHU), thermal
wall units, a new range of large direct expansion (DX), packaged DX and free
cooling with economizer units, a new range of in-row cooling units, wall mount
units, and rack cooling systems. The facility also boasts state-of-the-art
psychometric labs to provide performance testing, a dedicated customer
experience center, and design support capabilities. It is situated in an India
Green Building Council (IGBC) compliant park that focuses on sustainability and
reducing impact on the environment.
On the topic of the new facility, Vertiv CEO Giordano (Gio) Albertazzi
said, “With increasing global digitalization and the rapid adoption of
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the data center industry is experiencing growth
and a demand for more capacity, including for data center thermal and power
infrastructure. India’s emergence as a data center hub in the APAC region is a
key reason that we built this third manufacturing facility in India, and it reinforces
our commitment to nurturing the country’s data center ecosystem while also
addressing global demand.”
According to a JLL report, India's
data center industry is poised for a robust 678 MW expansion in the next three
years, elevating its capacity to 1400 MW by 2025, establishing the nation as
the 13th largest market globally. Additionally, India Briefing has
reported that 45 new data centers collectively spanning 13
million square feet with 1,015 MW capacity are scheduled for development by 2025,
forecasted to drive the industry to a size of $9.27 billion by 2027.
Subhasis Majumdar, managing director, Vertiv India, said, "India is
witnessing significant investments in the data center industry by both domestic
and global players. Our new plant with its state-of-the-art infrastructure will
help us provide more thermal management capacity, improve lead times, and
enhance our ability to deliver tailor-made, large, and complex solutions. In
addition to the global offerings, Vertiv will align solutions with India's
unique environmental and infrastructural needs, enabling optimal performance
and reliability. The new facility also helps Vertiv to continue our support of
the Make in India initiative."
