With 200 million ChatGPT users generating 1.6 billion AI queries per month, and projections indicating this number could exceed a billion by 2025, the demand for AI-led data centres is set to grow exponentially in India, the company said in a statement. 

 


“As data centres shift to GPU-based servers, the need for fibre optic infrastructure is anticipated to increase significantly. India is emerging as a major hub for data centre ecosystems, with estimates suggesting a boost in GPU-based server capacity to nearly 520,000 GPUs by 2026. These GPU-centric facilities will require 36 times more fibre than traditional CPU racks due to higher server density and bandwidth demands, necessitating more compact, high-density optical fibre cables,” the company said.


Sterlite Tech has crafted a portfolio tailored to the specific cabling requirements of GPU-heavy data centres, it said.. The company’s optical fibre solutions are designed to deliver high bandwidth, low latency, and high density to effectively support the volume and complexity of AI workloads.

“The synergy between AI, Data Centres, and Optical Fibre represents the holy trinity of future connectivity,” stated Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director and CEO of Optical Business at Sterlite Tech.

Hyundai's Rs 27,870 cr IPO highlights how mega listings affect markets

by | Oct 15, 2024 | Share Market


1 min read Last Updated : Oct 15 2024 | 11:06 PM IST


Hyundai Motor India’s Rs 27,870 crore IPO — India’s largest-ever — has turned the spotlight on the performance of mega offerings in the domestic markets and their impact on the overall markets. An analysis done by Bloomberg shows large offerings tend to weigh on the perfor­mance of the overall markets. For instance, the benchmark Nifty 50 index had declined 3 per cent one month after the Rs 20,557 crore IPO of state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). 


Similarly, the index crashed 5 per cent following Paytm’s Rs 18,300 crore IPO in November 2021, the biggest back then. Experts attribute this phenom­enon to large IPOs absorbing market liquidity, subsequently weighing on the overall market performance. Furthermore, the post-listing performance of most of the large IPOs has been underwhelming. Hyundai’s grey market premium suggests a listing price close to its issue price, potentially indicating a lukewarm start.
