Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited has significantly expanded its renewable energy partnership with STT GDC India, scaling their collaboration beyond 130 MW of hybrid renewable energy capacity. The expansion includes additional Power Purchase Agreements executed in April 2026, featuring a new 21 MWp solar capacity addition to strengthen India's AI-ready digital infrastructure.

Partnership Expansion Details

The latest agreement enhances CleanMax's existing wind-solar hybrid power supply to STT GDC India's data centres in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The partnership now encompasses reliable hybrid renewable energy capacity across key data centre hubs in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.

As part of the arrangement, STT GDC India will scale its contracted green energy capacity in captive mode, with a 26% equity investment in the renewable energy project. This model integrates solar and wind resources to ensure round-the-clock renewable energy supply, addressing the increasing energy demands driven by AI-led workloads.

Strategic Significance for AI-Ready Digital Infrastructure

The partnership reflects a strategic approach by data centre operators to integrate renewable energy solutions into their core operations for AI-ready infrastructure. According to Mr. Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director of Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited, the collaboration represents a broader shift among digital infrastructure service providers to embed clean energy into their business strategies as AI and data-led growth accelerates.

Mr. Bimal Khandelwal, Chief Executive Officer of STT GDC India, emphasized the company's commitment to sustainable growth, noting that STT GDC India remains on track towards carbon neutrality by 2030, with renewables contributing approximately 70% of their energy mix as of CY 2025.

CleanMax's Growing Market Position

The expanded partnership strengthens CleanMax's position in India's digital infrastructure sector. The AI and data centre segment now represents a significant portion of the company's business portfolio.

This represents nearly a tenfold expansion in the AI and data centre segment over the past two years, positioning CleanMax as a key partner in supporting the digital economy's transition towards sustainable operations.

Industry Context and Future Outlook

The surge in AI-driven workloads and always-on digital services is transforming how data centres approach energy management. Energy solutions have evolved from background enablers to central components of infrastructure performance and cost-efficiency strategies. The partnership demonstrates how renewable energy solutions are becoming critical for ensuring reliability while meeting sustainability expectations in an increasingly compute-intensive environment focused on AI-ready capabilities.
