Kirloskar Oil Engines Wins 192 MW Data Centre Power Systems Order from HyperNext

Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited (KOEL) has secured a major order from HyperNext for the deployment of 192 MW of power generation capacity to support large-scale data centre infrastructure in India. The order includes 96 units of KOEL's 2500 kVA Optiprime Dual Core power systems and marks one of the largest deployments of high-capacity power solutions for hyperscale data centres in the country.

The power systems will be deployed across HyperNext's next-generation digital infrastructure projects, which are designed to support growing demand from cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and mission-critical enterprise applications. The company is focused on building hyperscale-ready and AI-enabled data centre ecosystems with an emphasis on scalability, operational resilience, and sustainability.

According to HyperNext, reliable power infrastructure remains a critical requirement as data centres handle increasingly complex workloads. The company said the partnership with KOEL aligns with its strategy of building advanced digital infrastructure capable of supporting long-term growth in data consumption and AI adoption.

Harsh Macwann, Group CEO of HyperNext, said KOEL's Optiprime platform offers the scale, engineering capability, and operational performance required for mission-critical environments. He added that HyperNext is India's first data centre with an 800VDC power architecture and that the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to supporting the next phase of digital infrastructure development while maintaining high standards of operational resilience.

The Optiprime platform combines multiple high-performance cores within a single integrated power system. Designed for hyperscale and mission-critical applications, the platform delivers high power density, operational efficiency, and reliability. The systems are Uptime-certified and based on the Data Centre Continuous Power (DCCP) architecture, enabling operators to optimize space utilization while ensuring uninterrupted power availability.

Madan Patil, President – Global Powergen Business at Kirloskar Oil Engines, said the order demonstrates the confidence that leading digital infrastructure companies place in KOEL's engineering expertise and ability to deliver large-scale power solutions. He noted that accelerating adoption of AI and cloud technologies is increasing energy requirements for data centres, creating demand for highly reliable backup power systems. According to him, the Optiprime platform has been specifically developed to address these evolving requirements through enhanced performance, efficiency, and reliability.

The order further strengthens KOEL's position in the data centre power solutions segment. With more than 75 years of engineering experience, the company offers power and engine solutions ranging from 1 kW to 10 MW and serves sectors including infrastructure, data centres, Real Estate, Defence, marine, and Railways. The company also continues to expand its portfolio of fuel-agnostic platforms and advanced power systems that meet stringent global emission standards.

The partnership highlights the growing importance of reliable power infrastructure as digital transformation, AI adoption, and data-intensive applications drive increased investment in data centres across India. Both companies believe that robust power systems will play a critical role in supporting the country's expanding digital economy.
