One of India's largest hyperscale data center power deployments will see 96 high-capacity Optiprime systems installed to support AI and cloud infrastructure growth.
Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited (KOEL) has secured a major order from digital infrastructure company HyperNext for 192 MW of backup power capacity, marking one of the largest deployments of high-capacity power systems for hyperscale data centers in India.
The order includes 96 units of KOEL's 2500 kVA Optiprime Dual Core power systems, which will be deployed across HyperNext's next-generation data center infrastructure designed to support rapidly expanding demand from cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and mission-critical enterprise applications.
The deal underscores the accelerating investment in India's digital infrastructure sector as operators race to build facilities capable of handling increasingly power-intensive AI workloads and hyperscale cloud deployments.
HyperNext, which is developing hyperscale-ready, AI-enabled data center ecosystems, said the partnership is central to its strategy of building resilient, scalable and energy-efficient digital infrastructure.
Harsh Macwann, Group CEO, HyperNext, said, "As we continue to expand our digital infrastructure footprint, reliability and performance remain central to our design philosophy. KOEL's Optiprime solution offers the scale, engineering sophistication, and proven operational performance required for our mission-critical environments.
"Being India’s first data centre with an 800VDC power architecture, this partnership reflects our shared commitment to enabling the next generation of digital infrastructure while maintaining the highest standards of operational resilience."
The project brings together two companies focused on supporting India's digital economy growth, with HyperNext providing advanced data center infrastructure and KOEL supplying critical power generation systems.
KOEL said its Optiprime platform is designed specifically for hyperscale and mission-critical environments, combining multiple high-performance cores into a single integrated system to deliver higher power density, operational efficiency and reliability.
The Uptime certified DCCP (Data Centre Continuous Power) platform is intended to help operators maximize facility space while ensuring uninterrupted power availability.
"This order reflects the growing confidence that digital infrastructure leaders place in KOEL's engineering capabilities and our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance power solutions at scale," said Madan Patil, President- Global Powergen Business, Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited.
"As AI and cloud adoption accelerate globally, data centers require robust and resilient backup power systems that can support ever-increasing energy demands. Our Optiprime platform has been developed precisely to address these challenges, delivering exceptional performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for Hyperscale data centres."
The contract further strengthens KOEL's presence in the fast-growing data center segment, where demand for resilient power infrastructure is increasing alongside the rapid expansion of AI-driven computing and digital services.
