Coverage

Who is building, and who has announced

Indian listed exposure to data centres and AI infrastructure is messy. The largest builders are conglomerates where the asset is buried, most pure plays are unlisted, and the accessible mid caps have re-rated on announcements. This is the coverage, with the announcement and the delivery kept in separate columns.

Verdict

14 of 14 names. 8 carry megawatts and appear on the Execution against Ambition plot. The rest are measured on order books, revenue mix or backlog, which are not megawatts and do not plot against them.

Only 8 MW had been completely handed over, the rest still in the handover process. Operational capacity is not the same as handed over capacity, and this is the clearest instance of that gap in the universe.secondary
Techno Electric & EngineeringTechno Electric data centresvia Techno Electric & EngineeringTECHNOEDc ai infraPlanning24 MW live of 250 announcedPower engineering and construction contractor moving into data centres. The annual report for FY2025-26 names three hyperscale campuses: Chennai at 24 MW, called commissioned and live with a second phase still being planned, Kolkata at 8 MW under development, and Noida at 16 MW whose first phase is 500 kW. Live is the Chennai figure, 12 MW below what this row carried while it rested on the research note. The RailTel edge network is disclosed as 102 locations across 23 states with no megawatt figure beside it, so it adds sites rather than capacity.primary

E2E NetworksE2E NetworksE2EDc ai infraExecuting10 MW live of 25 announcedits own filing states no megawatt figureGPU cloud rather than colocation, and a tenant rather than an owner. The unit its own report publishes is monthly recurring revenue: 11.2 crore in March 2025 against 10.90 crore in March 2024, up 2.75 per cent, while revenue from operations for the year rose 73.57 per cent to 163.96 crore. Annualising that exit rate gives 134.4 crore, below the year it has just finished, so the growth sits behind it rather than in front. Other income of 39.43 crore is 1.69 times the 23.36 crore the operations produced before tax.Its annual report for FY2024-25 has been read and states no megawatt or kilowatt figure anywhere in 148 pages. It does not own the estate it operates from: the report describes expanding capacity by setting up GPU clusters at L&T's data centre in Chennai, and serves compute from facilities in Noida, Chennai and Mumbai. It calls itself a hyperscaler and an IaaS provider, never a data centre operator. The megawatts beside this row are a research estimate of its own compute draw, and reading the filing cannot upgrade them, because the company does not publish in that unit.unverified

How to read the sourcing

Primary

Traced to a document filed with a regulator and cited by its printed page. One name qualifies: Sify Infinit Spaces, read from its draft red herring prospectus.

Secondary

A researched figure from company announcements, brokerage notes or press reporting, not yet traced to a filing. Most of the universe sits here.

Unverified

Either the sources disagree or the figure is an estimate rather than a company statement. AdaniConneX and E2E Networks are marked this way, and the reason is written on the row.

Nothing is averaged across disagreeing sources and no cell is imputed. Where this repository already held a figure that conflicts with the research note, both are recorded and the row is downgraded rather than reconciled quietly. The plot is on the front page.
