The order represents one of India’s largest deployments of high‑capacity backup power systems for hyperscale data centres.
Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (KOEL), one of India’s leading power generation manufacturers, has secured a landmark order from HyperNext, a hyperscale data centre builder and operator. The order comprises 192 MW, 96 units of Pune‑headquartered KOEL’s 2500 kVA Optiprime Dual Core power systems, representing one of the largest deployments of high‑capacity backup power systems for hyperscale data centres in India.
Commenting on the deal, Harsh Macwann, Group CEO, HyperNext, said, “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 deployment will support Hyderabad‑based HyperNext’s mission to build resilient, scalable, and energy‑efficient digital infrastructure capable of meeting the rapidly growing demands of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and mission‑critical enterprise workloads.
Madan Patil, President of Global Powergen Business, KOEL, observed, “As AI and cloud adoption accelerate globally, data centres 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 Optiprime platform integrates multiple high‑performance cores into a single system, delivering industry‑leading power density, efficiency, and reliability, a company release stated. Designed specifically for hyperscale and mission‑critical environments, the Data Centre Continuous Power (DCCP) systems are certified by the global uptime standards body, Uptime Institute, enabling operators to maximise footprint utilisation while ensuring uninterrupted power availability.
The collaboration also marks the convergence of HyperNext and KOEL in building India’s digital backbone.
