Sterlite Tech wins $1.2 billion hyperscale contract
Sterlite Technologies has bagged a multi-year supply contract worth about $1.2 billion from an international hyperscale partner. The deal is valued at over Rs 10,000 crore.

The contract is one of the largest recent wins for an Indian optical fibre maker. It gives Sterlite long-term revenue visibility across several years.
Data centre build-outs are driving demand for high-capacity fibre. AI workloads need fast links between data centres and to users.
Indian manufacturers are pitching as alternative suppliers to global tech giants. Supply-chain diversification has opened doors for Indian firms.
The announcement came in a roundup of stocks in the news on October 2. Sterlite was flagged as a positive mover on the contract win.
The deal underlines India’s growing role in the global digital infrastructure supply chain. More such contracts are expected as AI investment continues.
