Mumbai-based engineering conglomerate, CG Power and Industrial Solutions, a subsidiary of the Murugappa Group, has won a ₹9 billion (~$99.07 million) order from Tallgrass Integrated Logistics Solutions, U.S., to supply power transformers for a large-scale data center project. The contract is the company’s largest-ever single order.
This marks CG Power’s entry into the global data centre segment, one of the fastest-growing power-demand markets.
The company has 18 manufacturing units across India and one in Sweden.
The order is a direct export contract and will be executed over 12–20 months, with deliveries under Free Alongside Ship (FAS) terms at Mumbai Port.
The transformers will be designed, manufactured, and tested in India to meet the high reliability, efficiency, and uptime requirements of hyperscale data centres.
Speaking on the development, Amar Kaul, Global CEO and Managing Director of CG Power and Industrial Solutions, said, “This order from Tallgrass is a strategic platform win for CG Group and marks our entry into the rapidly growing global data center vertical.”
“The global shift toward cloud computing, AI, and digital infrastructure is fundamentally reshaping the power demand. We believe this order opens up a significant long-term opportunity pipeline in global data center projects, aligned with our global growth and margin-accretive expansion strategy,” Kaul added.
According to the report published by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the U.S.’s electricity demand for data centers has tripled over the last decade. It is expected to further double or triple by 2028. The report notes that data centers consumed approximately 4.4% of total U.S. electricity in 2023 and are projected to consume 6.7% to 12% by 2028.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) received 225 new large load interconnection requests in 2025 alone, accounting for a 270% MW demand increase since January. By November 18, 2025, ERCOT was tracking about 226 GW of large loads seeking interconnection, up from 63 GW in December 2024.
