Praj GenX, a wholly owned subsidiary of Praj Industries, signed an exclusive framework supply agreement with a leading global engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company to manufacture and supply precision fabrication components and modules for hyperscale data center infrastructure projects. The agreement carries a minimum committed business value of approximately ₹500 crore, with supplies to be executed in multiple tranches over the next two-and-a-half years.
The deal marks Praj GenX’s entry into the rapidly expanding data centre infrastructure sector and is part of the company’s broader strategy to pursue long-term framework agreements with global customers across multiple industrial segments.
Under the agreement, Praj GenX will serve as the preferred supplier for identified product categories that will ultimately be deployed in hyperscale data centre projects executed by the EPC company.
First tranche already underway
Execution of the first tranche has already commenced at Praj GenX’s mega-manufacturing facility in Mangaluru, Karnataka.
The facility has been designed around Industry 5.0 principles and combines advanced automation, collaborative robotics and other infrastructure for precision fabrication.
Praj GenX said its engineering capabilities, modular manufacturing expertise and global quality standards have enabled it to establish itself as a partner for international customers operating in high-growth sectors, including oil and gas, advanced biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen and carbon capture.
The company is now expanding these capabilities into emerging digital infrastructure, including hyperscale data centres.
Pramod Chaudhari, Chairman of Praj GenX and Founder Chairman of the Praj Group, said the agreement is a significant milestone for the subsidiary and validates its engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities and execution capabilities.
He said the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and cloud computing is driving significant investment in hyperscale data centres globally, creating a long-term opportunity for Praj GenX to build partnerships with customers across the world.
