Pankaj Singh, Business Head, Data Centre Segment BU, Delta Electronics India
As India’s data centre market expands on the back of cloud adoption, artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and data localisation mandates, the infrastructure layer powering this growth is coming under sharper focus. Delta Electronics India is positioning itself at the heart of this transformation, not merely as an equipment vendor, but as an end-to-end solutions partner. In an interview with tele.net, Pankaj Singh, Business Head, Data Centre Segment BU, Delta Electronics India, discusses the company’s expansion into AI-integrated cooling, modular infrastructure and sustainable power solutions…
What are Delta Electronics’ key focus areas? What have been its key operational and business highlights?
At Delta Electronics, our focus is on delivering sustainable, high-efficiency power and cooling solutions that empower India’s digital backbone. We are moving beyond being a traditional infrastructure provider to becoming a comprehensive solutions partner. Over the past year, we have successfully deployed multiple artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated cooling systems in high-density data centres, resulting in significant energy savings and improved reliability. This technology is not just incremental, it is transformative, enabling operators to achieve superior power usage effectiveness and higher gross margins. Alongside this, we have expanded local manufacturing and research and development (R&D) investments to meet growing demand, while delivering modular, scalable infrastructure tailored for hyperscale and edge data centres.
How is Delta Electronics supporting the 5G roll-out in India?
The roll-out of 5G introduces unique challenges, particularly increased power densities and site efficiency constraints in urban environments where space is limited. Delta is at the forefront of helping operators navigate these challenges through advanced modular UPS systems, high-efficiency power supplies and AI-driven cooling technologies. Our intelligent cooling systems dynamically optimise airflow and temperature control using real-time analytics and machine learning algorithms, ensuring equipment longevity and reduced operational costs. By integrating smart energy management with power electronics, we are enabling operators to reduce energy consumption, lower heat generation and enhance site uptime – all of which are vital for sustaining India’s 5G ecosystem.
How is Delta Electronics positioning itself in India’s data centre space?
Delta Electronics is strategically positioning itself as a trusted end-to-end partner by integrating power supplies, precision cooling and infrastructure management underpinned by digital intelligence. Our modular and scalable solutions cater to both greenfield and brownfield projects, ensuring rapid deployment and operational flexibility. We are also co-creating bespoke solutions with leading developers and operators to meet India-specific challenges such as space constraints, power density and regulatory compliance. This collaborative approach ensures that our solutions are not only technologically advanced but also tailored to the unique needs of the Indian market.
What emerging solutions is Delta developing for the data centre segment?
AI-integrated cooling is our flagship innovation and represents a paradigm shift in how data centres manage thermal efficiency. By leveraging machine learning and sensor data, these systems dynamically adapt cooling parameters in real time, reducing energy wastage and mitigating overheating risks. This ensures that dense data centre environments remain safe and reliable without compromising efficiency. We have seen how operators respond to this technology – it gives them confidence that their facilities can handle rising loads without spiralling energy costs. Alongside this, our modular infrastructure solutions are designed for hyperscale and edge data centres, ensuring scalability and rapid deployment to meet the fast-evolving requirements of 5G networks and cloud services. Our energy optimisation initiatives further support operators in lowering their carbon footprint and operating costs, aligning with India’s broader sustainability goals. Together, these innovations are redefining how data centres operate, making them more efficient, resilient and profitable.
What is your growth outlook for the next two to three years?
We see robust growth ahead, driven by India’s expanding digital infrastructure and the proliferation of 5G networks. Our strategic focus will remain on three fronts. First, for data centres, we will continue to deliver integrated power and cooling solutions that enhance efficiency, scalability and reliability. Second, for telecommunications, we will expand our portfolio of modular UPS systems and AI-driven cooling tailored to the unique demands of 5G base stations. Third, for sustainability, we will drive green infrastructure development and embed AI technologies to optimise energy consumption and operational performance.
