Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited has secured a major 192 MW order from HyperNext to supply backup power systems for large-scale data center infrastructure, marking one of the biggest standby power deployments in India’s data center sector.
The order includes 96 units of Kirloskar’s Optiprime Dual Core systems, each with a capacity of 2,500 kVA. The deal is expected to strengthen Kirloskar’s position in the fast-growing digital infrastructure segment, where demand for uninterrupted power is rising sharply due to rapid cloud and artificial intelligence expansion.
The Optiprime platform is designed for hyperscale and mission-critical environments, combining multiple high-performance cores into a single power system to improve efficiency and reduce infrastructure footprint. The systems are Uptime-certified under the Data Centre Continuous Power (DCCP) category, a key standard for reliability.
HyperNext is developing an advanced data center based on an 800VDC power architecture, which the company says will be the first of its kind in India. This infrastructure is aimed at supporting next-generation AI workloads, cloud computing, and enterprise operations that require high resilience.
The 192 MW capacity represents a significant scale-up in India’s data center ecosystem as AI-driven computing demand continues to surge. For Kirloskar, the deal highlights growing opportunities in backup power solutions, especially as hyperscale data centers become critical to the country’s digital economy.
With over 75 years of operations, Kirloskar Oil Engines continues to expand its presence across infrastructure, defense, marine, and now increasingly, AI-linked data center projects.
