Data Centres Opportunity for Railtel

In news from the telecom and railway equipment space, shares of Railtel Corporation have been in focus these past few days after investors factored in the massive data centres opportunity for the company.

A data centre is a facility where companies store their information. They provide reliable power, cooling, security, and connectivity. What makes them unique is that they are designed to withstand natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes.

Data centres are becoming increasingly important to businesses. Businesses today are data driven and this means that data centres are needed to house servers.

RailTel has a rural and urban mix for broadband connections in 60:40 ratio, with a focus on rural areas. So, the telecom business alone can neither ensure volume nor margin growth for the company.

Telecom is a capital (capex) heavy business. RailTel has outlined capex of around 1.8 bn for next financial year. In the future too, the capex requirement is expected to remain in the same range.

As of March 2024, RailTel's order book stood over Rs 48 bn. The company has received large orders from the Indian Railways for services such as the content on demand, video surveillance systems, and e-offices.

It also has orders from Coal India, Ordnance Factory Board, Indian Air Force, etc., for system integration and bandwidth requirements.

However, the key growth catalyst is expected to be the data centre business.

RailTel has already set up two data centres (at Gurgaon and Hyderabad) from which it provides host of managed services including cloud and security operations for various government organisations.

The company is now planning to create a 30 MW data centre at its Noida plot of 17,000 sq. metres, under a partnership model. This is expected to be an investment opportunity of approximately Rs 15 bn for the data centre partner.

So, the Miniratna is on a reasonably sound footing due to its monopoly over the telecom and IT infrastructure requirements of Indian Railways.

BMW CE 02 EV-designed and developed in collaboration with TVS is expected to see a global launch between March to April 2024.
