The company initiated this endeavour by inaugurating a state-of-the-art facility with a Rs 100 crore investment to produce cutting-edge cooling solutions for data centres in Bengaluru, reported PTI.

As part of this initiative, the company will also establish manufacturing facilities across various states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, and Odisha.
