We aim to be the No. 1 solution provider for Data Centers in terms of providing hard-wired services with best-in-class services and safety.

MEP business of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Godrej MEP is a One  stop Solution for ‘Breathing’ life into structures. What makes any concrete structure functional are the Mechanical (Fire Fighting & HVAC), Electrical and Public Health Engineering (Plumbing & Water Management) services which form a significant element of any building and infrastructure. 

 

At Godrej MEP, we are committed to executing projects based on our values – ‘Integrity, commitment, teamwork, continuous learning and environment sustainability’. With a very rich experience and a team of 300+ engineers, Godrej MEP is committed to executing projects ‘On Time Every Time’ with best-in-class workmanship. 

 

Data centre was given infrastructure status The infrastructure status given to the Data Center industry brings its development at par with other major sectors to avail long term credit, and drive data localization in the wake of growth in data security in these fast-changing digital times. 

This step will enable India to become a global data centre hub with a favourable geographical location; availability of skilled resources and establishment of enhanced connectivity.

 

Growth for data centre projects in future and expected revenue 

India’s data center (DC) industry is expected to double by 2023 and data center capacities are expected to increase from 499 megawatts (MW) IT load to 1008 MW This, in turn, would lead to a requirement of over five million sq. ft., of real estate. In view of this growing market, Godrej MEP is targeting annual revenue growth of 25 percent in Data Center projects by FY24 and has secured several high-value projects in the cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad.

 

Measures to be adopted to reduce carbon footprint 

Currently, the global carbon footprint for data centers accounts for more than 2 percent of global carbon emissions (the equivalent of the world’s entire airline industry), with the number expected to rise to 3.2 percent in 2025 .

 

By 2040, data storage is predicted to account for 14 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. With respect to the same we intend to implement various measures to reduce carbon footprint- 

  • Reform Data Centers with Energy Efficiency: Data centers need a continuous power supply and cooling systems. Any disposal of equipment adds to e-waste. The combination of clear objectives, better asset management, and automation in Cloud Migration creates a greener data center, which in turn results in the exponential growth of overall efficiency.

 

  • Adopting Green Practices: Major cloud computing providers have already started marching towards carbon neutrality and are utilizing renewable energy sources to power their data centers. Such green resources include solar power, geothermal, hydropower, and wind energy. Hence by migrating infrastructure to the cloud or through new deployments in the existing Cloud environment, organizations will attain scalability with green practices. 

 

  • Shared Networks: One significant aspect of Cloud computing is optimized resource utilization. A Cloud Data Center securely stores and shares information virtually across servers located at multiple locations, simultaneously. This results in reduced physical server count, lower e-waste, and fewer machines and hardware. Apart from Working capital, GodrejMEP has a strong and capable team to execute data center projects with a ‘First-time Right’ approach and its completion on ‘On-time every time’.

 

Strategic initiative G&B intends to undertake in procuring data center projects

 

 We have evolved and adapted to the Data Center ethos to have agile processes demanded by such projects. Our agile processes, day-wise monitoring and ‘On-Time Every Time’ mantra has been critical, contributing factors to Godrej MEP’s success story. At Godrej MEP, we will continue to partner with Indian and Global players to provide the best HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing and firefighting services that are essential to the functioning and safety of data centers. 

 

Demand for upcoming data centers in India and Mumbai 

 

India is currently home to over 80 third-party data centers and is witnessing investments from both local and international players that are expected to touch $4.6 billion per annum by 2025. Mumbai, with a 199 MW IT load is the leading data centre hub of the country with cable connectivity and assured power supply. Data centers capacity in Mumbai, the country’s commercial capital, is likely to grow 2.65 times to 529 MW by 2023. The city is expected to add 330 MW in the next two years and Navi Mumbai is expected to account for 83 percent of these additions in the Mumbai region.

 One of the core values of Godrej & Boyce is Environment, hence sustainability is at the centre of our business strategy, and we maintain the right balance between the two. Our decades of internal experience with an ambitious target to double the energy productivity and improve the percentage of Green Power, is shared with our external customers, while executing the project as an EPC contractor. Godrej MEP aims to help integrate energy and water-saving measures in data centers by enhancing operational energy efficiency, value engineering in design, recommending greener technologies and use of data analytics. Godrej MEP not only provides greater efficiency and benefits in operations but also helps optimize the use of scarce community resources.
