SETL\u2019s Precision Engineering Heritage Meets GScale\u2019s Datacenter Mastery in a Transformative Two-Platform Strategy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 25:<\/strong> Standard Engineering Technology Limited (SETL, BSE: 544333), India\u2019s leading precision and multidisciplinary engineering company, today announced the acquisition of a majority 51% equity stake in GScale Energy Private Limited \u2014 marking a defining moment in India\u2019s AI infrastructure journey and SETL\u2019s evolution as a full-spectrum engineering platform.<\/p>\n

Engineering Parallels That Power the Future<\/h3>\n

What makes this acquisition extraordinary is not merely strategic \u2014 it is deeply engineering-logical.<\/p>\n

For over a decade, SETL has mastered the art of building mission-critical infrastructure for pharma and chemical industries \u2014 delivering cooling skids, heat exchangers, vacuum systems, electrical systems, automation, Air Handling Units (AHUs), Process Distribution Units (PDUs), modular process equipment, and complete turnkey plants.<\/p>\n

Every pharma facility demands precision-engineered power management, thermal control, clean utilities, and fail-safe automation. So does every modern AI datacenter.<\/p>\n

The engineering DNA is identical. The applications simply differ.<\/p>\n

Where SETL engineered cooling for reactors, GScale engineers cooling for GPU clusters.<\/p>\n

Where SETL delivered electrical systems for chemical plants, GScale delivers power infrastructure for hyperscale AI factories.<\/p>\n

Where SETL executed integrated turnkey pharma facilities, GScale delivers complete, concept-to-commissioning AI datacenters.<\/p>\n

GScale: Led by India\u2019s Most Accomplished Datacenter Engineer<\/h3>\n

GScale Energy is led by Mr. Kasu Brahma Reddy \u2014 former President of CtrlS Datacenters Limited, one of India\u2019s largest datacenter businesses, with over 25 years of critical infrastructure experience.<\/p>\n

Under his leadership, GScale brings a proven track record of 486 MW delivered and over 1 GW under execution, deep hyperscaler relationships, and ready-to-market LOIs \u2014 capabilities that would take SETL years to build organically.<\/p>\n

GScale is positioned to manufacture and engineer the complete spectrum of AI datacenter components \u2014 power systems, cooling infrastructure, modular systems, AHUs, PDUs, electrical distribution, automation, and end-to-end turnkey datacenter facilities \u2014 bringing India its first vertically integrated AI infrastructure engineering platform.<\/p>\n

A Market Opportunity of Historic Scale<\/h3>\n

The global AI datacenter infrastructure market demands $5.2\u20136.7 trillion in capital expenditure by 2030, with 125 GW of incremental capacity required globally.<\/p>\n

India alone is projected to see $40\u201350 billion in AI and hyperscale datacenter investment through 2030, growing at 28% CAGR \u2014 creating one of the largest engineering build-out opportunities in the nation\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Investment Discipline Meets Execution Confidence<\/h3>\n

SETL enters this opportunity from a position of undeniable financial strength.<\/p>\n

The Company reported FY2026 revenue of \u20b9793 Crore with an EBITDA margin of 17.4%, holds \u20b9220 Crore in cash and liquid assets, and carries an upgraded CRISIL rating of A\/Positive as of April 2026.<\/p>\n

The total investment program is structured at \u20b9500 Crore across phases, entirely self-funded from operating cash flows.<\/p>\n

Phase I commits \u20b9190 Crore \u2014 comprising \u20b9125 Crore primary capital infusion and \u20b965 Crore via share swap.<\/p>\n

GScale is targeting \u20b9250 Crore in revenue from its first four months of operations in FY2027 alone, as manufacturing commences from November 2026.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SETL\u2019s existing core engineering business is targeting 40\u201350% revenue growth in FY2027 \u2014 reflecting the full-platform momentum now in motion.<\/p>\n

A Vision Built on Engineering Truth<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe same engineering discipline that makes a pharma plant safe and efficient makes a datacenter reliable and powerful,\u201d said Mr. Nageswara Rao Kandula, Managing Director, SETL.<\/p>\n

\u201cSETL and GScale share the same fundamental engineering mission \u2014 design it right, build it with precision, deliver it to perform. Together, we are not entering the datacenter market. We are building India\u2019s most capable AI infrastructure engineering platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGScale was built to deliver infrastructure at gigawatt scale,\u201d said Mr. Kasu Brahma Reddy, Founder & Director, GScale Energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith SETL\u2019s manufacturing depth, financial strength, and execution culture, we now have everything required to build world-class AI datacenter infrastructure at speed and scale India has never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n
