Sterlite Tech Shares Rally 50% After AI-Driven Data Centre Launch

The company has tied up with Tech Data India to roll out the offering across 70 cities despite not having received any orders yet.

Overview

  • Sterlite’s new AI-driven data centre suite includes high-performance fibre and copper cabling designed for hyperscalers, colocation players and enterprises.
  • Shares jumped nearly 50% over five sessions, reaching a 19-month high around ₹119 per share on strong investor response to its AI infrastructure push.
  • Tech Data India, a TD SYNNEX subsidiary, will serve as the exclusive distributor for the solution across more than 70 Indian cities.
  • In early June Sterlite secured a ₹2,631.14 crore BSNL contract, with cable supplies routed through its demerged entity.
  • Sterlite’s operating performance has improved after inventory de-stocking and its net debt-to-equity ratio fell to 0.7 times following a demerger and a ₹1,000 crore fund raise.
