AI infra firm RackBank gets land in Indore, Raipur for data centres
AI infrastructure startup RackBank is looking to expand data centres in tier-2 cities like Indore and Raipur to reduce its operational cost by 2–3x as compared to data centre hotspots like Mumbai, Chennai and Noida. The firm, which recently launched an AI cloud business unit called NeevCloud, has acquired six acres of land in Indore for an 18 megawatt facility and 13 acres in Raipur for a 100 megawatt facility, Narendra Sen, founder and CEO of RackBank and NeevCloud, told ET. These investments are supported by state governments of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh respectively in form of power subsidies and other benefits. To maintain competitive pricing for on-demand GPUs (graphics processing units), neocloud firms need to cut fixed costs and operational costs, especially because GPUs guzzle immense power and water. For instance, land costs in Raipur are Rs 30 lakh per acre, less than a tenth of Mumbai's rates, and operational costs are equally compelling, Sen explained.'In tier-1 cities, it costs Rs 50 crore per megawatt to build. We do it for Rs 25 crore in tier-2. State governments like Madhya Pradesh are also supporting data centre companies with single window clearances and dedicated power supply. Our delivery timeline is nine months, as compared to metro cities where it can be 24 months,' he added that RackBank's in-house immersion cooling system Varuna allows it to cut capital costs by up to company is aiming to raise Rs 700 crore debt to fund this expansion. This comes after it raised a $16.5 million (nearly Rs 138 crore) equity seed round in March 2025 from D-Street investors like Ashish Kacholia and Madhulika Agarwal.'We want to become the CoreWeave of Asia Pacific,' he said, referencing the US-based AI cloud startup that recently went public after a meteoric in 2023, NeevCloud currently operates a cluster of over 700 GPUs, including Nvidia H100, H200, MI300 and plans to add the latest Blackwell GPUs in Raipur soon. NeevCloud's model focuses on enterprise AI workloads, medical diagnostics and government partnerships. 'Hyperscalers like AWS and Azure dominate the general cloud, but they don't have enough GPU capacity in India. Startups are hungry for training and inference compute, and they're willing to switch providers,' said Sen. 'We're already seeing strong traction from AI startups and healthcare firms.' On the global front, NeevCloud is also setting up presence in Europe (Finland, Norway) and the US, partnering with local data centre operators to ensure compliance and reach.'Customers expect availability. If your site shows zero GPUs, they bounce,' said Sen. 'So we're launching regions in key markets to stay competitive.'

Local electronics parts vendors plan non-Chinese JVs
Indian electronics companies are seeking partnerships. They are looking at South Korean, Taiwanese, and Japanese firms. This is for electronics component manufacturing. The reason is India's stance on Chinese investments. Companies like Dixon and Amber are finalising proposals. The electronics component manufacturing scheme deadline is approaching.

Since then only a handful of large Chinese companies have received such clearances.'There is no denying that China is far ahead in large-scale component technology manufacturing, but we are careful about the government stand, as not just the initial investment will need government clearance, but even the subsequent ones. Such clearances will take a lot of time, impact our plans and incentive payout under the scheme,' said a CEO of one of the largest players in the industry.'So, wherever we have found the technology in Taiwan and South Korea, we would use that while for others we are still dependent on China. But we are trying to negotiate for a technical alliance or a minority shareholding with them,' he said, requesting Enterprises will put in Rs 4,000 crore application under component manufacturing scheme which will be invested through the tenure of the scheme, CEO Jasbir Singh part of a joint venture with South Korea's Korea Circuit, a Rs 3,000 crore application for manufacturing of high density interface and semiconductor substrates and a Rs 1,000 crore application for printed circuit board manufacturing will be submitted, said Singh. Amber is the largest contract manufacturer for largest home-grown smartphone contract manufacturer Dixon Technologies' managing director Atul Lall said the company is currently finalising its applications and terms for joint ventures with South Korean and Taiwanese firms.

'Our first priority is non-Chinese partners from Taiwan, South Korea and Japan,' he said.A company CEO said that it was a sensitive issue for companies having Chinese brands as clients as the existing component manufacturers for those brands are all mostly Chinese. 'Some are Taiwanese too. So, we are talking to the clients too before finalising the applications,' he said.
