Bharat Forge and AMD Join Forces to Launch High-Performance Made-in-India Servers: What You Need to Know

Bharat Forge’s subsidiary, Kalyani Powertrain, is about to make a significant move into the Indian server market. They are partnering with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a company listed on Nasdaq. This step is important for enhancing India’s data infrastructure. The announcement was made on February 24.

Kalyani Group’s leaders, Baba Kalyani and Amit Kalyani, see this partnership as a boost for India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. They believe it will strengthen the country’s tech capabilities. In a joint statement, they expressed confidence in the direction this collaboration is heading.

The goal of this partnership is to meet the rising demand for high-performance computing in various industries like automotive, telecom, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI). The servers produced will use AMD EPYC™ processors, known for being energy-efficient and secure. This makes them a great choice for data centers. Additionally, there are plans to include AMD Instinct™ accelerators in the future to further enhance capabilities in AI and high-performance computing.

AMD will assist Kalyani Powertrain by providing necessary design materials and technical documents. This support is key to developing solutions that align with international standards. According to Vinay Sinha from AMD, the combination of EPYC processors and future accelerators will create a reliable and energy-efficient infrastructure for AI, cloud services, and data centers.

On the financial side, Bharat Forge’s stock faced challenges. On the same day of the announcement, it hit a 52-week low. Despite the promising news, the stock dropped by 1.84%, closing at ₹1,039.7 on the BSE amidst broader market declines.
