Essar Group’s Black Box plans to expand into India’s data centre landscape

Essar Group’s US-based IT solutions firm, Black Box, is planning to set up data centres in India following the rising demand for such services from its US-based clients. The company wants to take advantage of the Digital India initiative of the Indian government to increase its presence in India, Sanjeev Verma, chief executive officer (CEO) of Black Box Corporation, said.

With this move, the group aligns with several Indian companies like Larsen & Toubro, Adani Group, and Reliance Industries (RIL), which are investing in data centres.
