08 Apr 2026 CW Team

The transaction is proposed to be capital efficient with no immediate cash outflow and to combine US-led technology capabilities with India scale infrastructure execution. A cornerstone asset is a land parcel of approximately 196.7 acres near Gopalpur Port and NH-16 in Chhatrapur, Odisha with IDCO approvals and planned phased data centre development from five Megawatt (MW) to 25 MW and onward to 100 MW hyperscale capacity, with proximity to emerging subsea cable connectivity.

An independent valuation dated 4 April, 2026 values GIX at approximately Rs 3,728.1 million (mn), subject to final documentation and approvals. BCSSL reported FY2025 revenues of Rs 7,980 million (mn). GIX brings distributed energy infrastructure capabilities including solar, battery energy storage systems, microgrids and Energy as a Service models together with AI driven energy optimisation and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platforms and project development and execution expertise to support AI intensive compute environments.

Subject to completion, GIX will become a wholly owned subsidiary of BCSSL and several affiliates will become step down subsidiaries. BCSSL intends to establish a dedicated AI and Data Centre Infrastructure vertical to integrate renewable energy, battery storage and AI led energy optimisation with phased hyperscale development and operations, aiming to generate infrastructure led revenues, long term contracted services and recurring digital and AI driven service revenues while enabling strategic partnerships and potential platform level capital raising.

Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited (BCSSL) said its board has approved an all-share acquisition of 100 per cent of Global Impx Inc. (GIX) as part of a strategic pivot into AI-driven energy and digital infrastructure, subject to execution of definitive agreements and regulatory, corporate and shareholder approvals including a Special Resolution at an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for May 04, 2026. The BSE-listed technology conglomerate intends the transaction to accelerate its evolution into a technology enabled infrastructure company operating at the convergence of artificial intelligence, clean energy and digital platforms.

India’s roads sector enters 2026 at a decisive junction, where the conversation is no longer about kilometres alone but contracts that allocate risk wisely, corridors that unlock economic value, and cash flows that remain credible over the long term. After more than a decade of relentless expansion, India’s road-building ecosystem is moving into a phase of maturity – where engineering complexity, financial discipline and institutional coordination matter more than sheer scale.Between 2014 and 2024, India built highways at a pace few nations have ever matched. National Highway length expa..

The Walled Garden

I am not suggesting Indian architects are inadequate. The profession has produced extraordinary work – from Charles Correa's quiet humanism to Balkrishna Doshi's Nobel-recognised genius. However, the regulatory barriers meant to protect the profession are holding it back. It is time for an honest conversation about this.The Architects Act of 1972 established the Council of Architecture (COA) as the statutory body regulating architecture practice in India. Its founding logic was sound: to ensure those calling themselves architects meet a minimum standard of competence and to protect the publi..

We completed a 1BHK home on a private island in 7 days!

Reimagining construction through a ‘War on Waste’, Circato founders T Paul Koshy, Sushma Joseph and Praveen Crasta speak to CW on turning single-use plastic into high-performance building systems – demonstrated at Bengaluru International Airport with a 16-ft wall installed in just 48 hours.What specific gap in the construction ecosystem led to the creation of Circato?Sushma Joseph: We felt the industry had normalised inefficiency. In construction, timelines, costs and outcomes often remain uncertain, yet that is widely accepted. We wanted to show that inefficiencies can be..
