Kalyani Powertrain, part of Bharat Forge, has teamed up with Taiwan’s Compal Electronics to produce X86 platform servers in India. This partnership aims to enhance local manufacturing and meet the growing demand for server solutions.
The X86 platform is a popular architecture for CPUs, essential for computers and servers. Under this agreement, Compal will assist Kalyani Powertrain with technology transfer related to server production, assembly, testing, and sales.
Amit Kalyani, the vice-chairman of Bharat Forge, highlighted that this collaboration will boost India’s competitive edge in manufacturing. Recently, Kalyani Powertrain also partnered with AMD to create “Made in India” servers. These new servers, manufactured in Pune, will use AMD EPYC processors, known for their efficiency and security. The goal is to reduce costs for data centers in India.
Compal’s CEO, Tony Bonadero, expressed confidence in the partnership. He noted that Kalyani’s strong presence in India would benefit the collaboration and pave the way for more ICT-related ventures in the future.
Meanwhile, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has introduced its own “Made in India” servers through a partnership with VVDN Technologies, aiming to produce around $1 billion worth of servers in five years. This initiative will help meet the rising needs of Indian customers.
Additionally, Lenovo has started manufacturing AI servers in India at its Puducherry plant, which has operated since 2005. These servers are designed for AI workloads and over 60% of the production is aimed for export to the Asia-Pacific region.
According to International Data Corporation, India’s server market is projected to reach $2.8 billion in revenue by 2025, with substantial growth expected in the coming years.
