Hyderabad has emerged as a major hub for data center investments in India, driven by the city’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and favourable government policies. With the increasing demand for digital services and cloud computing, several global and domestic players are investing heavily in Hyderabad’s data center market. Moreover, Hyderabad’s proximity to major IT and business centers has bolstered its position as a key player in the nation’s data center ecosystem. As a leading data centre infrastructure player in India and Asia Pacific region, JIKA certainly has innovative solutions to offer that can complement the burgeoning industry. In Hyderabad, the company is working with reputed datacenter developers for two projects of 10 MW each and two projects of 38 MW each.

Commenting on the expansion plans, Rushabh Dedhia, Managing Director, JIKA – Smart Installation Systems, said, “This expansion is expected to create substantial employment opportunities, with 100 new positions in the factory, 200+ roles for site installations, and 50 engineering positions dedicated to project delivery and support.
