en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited (KOEL) has won a major order from digital infrastructure company HyperNext to provide 192 MW of backup power capacity, marking one of the largest deployments of high-capacity power systems in India's hyperscale data center sector.

The order includes 96 units of KOEL's 2500 kVA Optiprime Dual Core power systems, which will be deployed in HyperNext's next-generation data center infrastructure designed to support the rapidly growing computing demands of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and mission-critical enterprise applications.

The deal highlights the accelerating investment trend 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 is developing hyperscale, AI-ready data center ecosystems, and the company stated that this partnership is central to its strategy of building resilient, scalable, and energy-efficient digital infrastructure.

Harsh Macwann, Group CEO of HyperNext, said: "As we continue to expand our digital infrastructure footprint, reliability and performance remain at the core of our design philosophy. KOEL's Optiprime solution provides the scale, engineering complexity, and proven operational performance required for mission-critical environments. As India's first data center adopting an 800VDC power architecture, this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to supporting next-generation digital infrastructure while maintaining the highest standards of operational resilience."

The project brings together two companies focused on supporting India's digital economy growth: HyperNext provides advanced data center infrastructure, while KOEL supplies critical power generation systems. KOEL stated that its Optiprime platform, designed specifically for hyperscale and mission-critical environments, integrates multiple high-performance cores into a single system to deliver higher power density, operational efficiency, and reliability. The platform is Uptime certified, and its DCCP (Data Centre Continuous Power) architecture is designed to help operators maximize facility space utilization while ensuring uninterrupted power supply.

Madan Patil, President of Global Power Generation Business at Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited, said: "This order reflects the growing confidence of digital infrastructure leaders in KOEL's engineering capabilities and our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance power solutions at scale. As AI and cloud adoption accelerate globally, data centers require robust and resilient backup power systems to support growing energy demands. The Optiprime platform was developed specifically to address these challenges, offering superior performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for hyperscale data centers."

The contract further strengthens KOEL's position in the rapidly growing data center sector, where demand for resilient power infrastructure continues to rise, driven by the rapid expansion of AI-driven computing and digital services.
