In the hyper-connected world of today, data centres work behind the scenes to enable everything from real-time payments and e-commerce to video conferencing and mission-critical enterprise systems. But when they fail to work, the financial implications can be substantial. 

A single minute of downtime can cost large businesses over $9,000

 — that’s over ₹7.5 lakh lost in just sixty seconds, even before accounting for damage to customer trust or brand credibility.

Data centres are the operating rooms of the digital world. And in a world that no longer sleeps, they can’t afford to either.

We often imagine data as something that floats in the cloud. In truth, it lives in machines that hum away in temperature-controlled buildings. These facilities house rows of servers and kilometres of cabling that carry the weight of our digital economy. From start-ups to international tech giants, all digital services depend on a foundation of uninterrupted power, intelligent cooling, secure entry, and fail-safe connectivity.

depends on physical systems that must perform 24/7

Why Uptime Is the Only Number That Matters

There’s one number that defines the success of a data centre: uptime. 

Some facilities commit to 99.982% uptime. Others aim for 99.995%.

 That minor difference translates to either hours or just minutes of downtime per year.

The businesses that choose where to place their data don’t just look for availability. They look for trust. 

And trust isn’t built when things go right. It’s proven when things go wrong and the system holds.

Keeping a data centre live takes more than just plugging in servers. The system is designed with multiple levels of backup, with the first being a consistent power source usually drawn from the local electricity grid. Dedicated express feeders reduce the chance of outages, and UPS systems bridge the brief moment before generators kick in. 

 are often deployed in N+1 or N+N configurations to ensure that if one unit fails, another takes over immediately.

For context, a single 3 MVA generator burns around 700 litres of diesel per hour. Most large data centres operate at least 10 of them. Recently, we oversaw the installation of 35 such units, each delivering 3.5 MVA, totalling over 100 MW of on-demand power in a single location. What made this project successful was the speed and consistency offered through Caterpillar’s world-class manufacturing and GMMCO’s robust last-mile execution.

Power keeps the machines running, but cooling keeps them alive. 

Servers generate enormous amounts of heat, and without the right systems, performance drops and failure risk rise. Most modern facilities use structured airflow systems like cold and hot aisle containment. In India, where temperatures in summer are extreme, HVAC systems are pushed to their limits. Some projects handling AI or blockchain loads are now adopting liquid cooling and immersion technologies, which means that they require innovations that significantly increase power demand. Supporting such high-density compute environments means larger, more dependable gensets must back the infrastructure from day one. And so, efficiency and resilience become table stakes here. 

Even though India accounts for 28% of global data generation, we currently hold just 1% of the world’s data centre capacity. But that’s changing rapidly.

As of 2024, India had an operational capacity of 1,150 MW. 

This is expected to double to 2,100 MW by 2027

, supported by ₹45,000 crore in planned investments. 

By 2030, the market is forecast to cross 3,400 MW

, especially across Tier 1 cities, while Tier 2 and 3 cities are seeing rising interest in edge infrastructure.

This growth isn't being fueled solely by hyperscalers. Enterprises in banking, retail, and manufacturing are also constructing their own digital cores, supported by partners that can scale alongside them and help with their infrastructure aspirations for the future.

What this growth reveals is not just an increase in capacity; it signals a shift in expectations.

With a partnership built on over three decades of collaboration between Gmmco and Caterpillar, we’ve delivered mission-critical systems to data centres, airports, hospitals, industrial campuses, and high-rises across India, all powered by the same shared commitment of supporting our nation’s infrastructure. 

Customers want to trust a partner who can manage complexity, adapt to on-site challenges, and get it right the first time. At 

, our strength lies in being involved from the beginning so that every step is synchronised to maximise uptime and performance. Our involvement begins from the pre-engineering phase, where our engineering, design, and estimation teams work hand-in-hand with the sales team to shape the solution for the customer. This is then followed by techno-commercial discussions leading to order collection, procurement, execution, and successful commissioning. Our end-to-end model is also backed by one of India’s largest after-sales networks. So, whether it’s preventive maintenance or breakdown support, Gmmco is equipped to minimise downtime and maximise reliability, no matter where the data centre is located.

The recent example involving a 35-genset deployment was completed within demanding timelines and signed off after multi-level consultant checks. ​​Built locally and tailored for Indian conditions, the deployment benefited from shorter timelines, making it a critical advantage 

Most projects fail because of disjointed implementation. One company for power. Another for cabling. Yet another for cooling. Though this may divide the workload on paper, it tends to create friction and responsibility gaps in reality. Gmmco resolves this by handling end-to-end turnkey solutions — from supply to installation, testing, commissioning, and statutory approvals — with smooth implementation and single-point responsibility from beginning to end.

We’ve seen the difference and the impact that’s created when one partner owns the outcome. Because we supply the gensets, manage electrical layout, install switchgear, and coordinate UPS commissioning, we can guarantee that delivery is smoother and more seamlessly integrated. 

Closing the Gap Between Design and Delivery

Data centres may operate in digital time, but their success depends on physical execution. From deploying megawatt-scale gensets to enabling real-time commissioning, our aim is clear: 

to ensure data centres stay online through storms, surges, and spikes in demand.

 And that kind of reliability can’t be automated. At Gmmco, we don’t see this just as an equipment business. 

 — built, tested, and delivered by people who know what’s at stake.

If you’re designing or upgrading a data centre and need infrastructure partners who offer certainty, 

Keeping India’s Data Centres Always On

India’s skyline is evolving rapidly as buildings stretch taller to accommodate growing urbanisation. With land shortages and rising demand for real estate, vertical expansion has become the only way forward. And with rising buildings comes rising challenges regarding safe power infrastructure for smooth operations. A high rise is not just a mere structure, but it's also an interconnected system where power is critical in keeping lifts, security, fire safety, motors, pumps, and lighting functioning, since everything depends on a steady power supply. Even a minor outage can disrupt routine activities, operational functioning, and raise concerns among residents and visitors.

It is absolutely crucial for developers, facility managers, and procurement heads to not just question the existence of a backup power system but also to ensure that the one in place works without fail when it is needed the most.

With Greater Height Comes Greater Responsibility

Over the past decade, high-rise construction in India has surged by 30%, with Mumbai alone set to house over 200 skyscrapers above 40 floors by 2030, according to a recent report by 

Lifts in these buildings aren't just for ease of movement. A power failure is a grave inconvenience for those inside because it can lead to people getting stranded, emergency lighting failing, or security systems shutting down unexpectedly.

While regulations mandate the installation of backup generators, simply having one does not ensure reliability. A generator’s true potentials are exposed during prolonged or frequent outages because that’s when stakeholders discover whether they’ve invested in an advantageous solution.

Why Power Backup Should Never Be an Afterthought

At the time of construction, cutting costs by opting for a low-cost genset may seem practical. After all, why spend more when the basic requirements are met? And what happens when that low-cost solution struggles to perform under pressure? Choosing a dependable, well-built genset from the start means that you can safeguard the building’s infrastructure against uncertainty, downtime, and tenant dissatisfaction. Even one power failure can have long-term consequences, including equipment damage, and reliability is never something to compromise.

What Makes a Reliable Backup Power System?

Not all generators are created equal. The most dependable ones work so efficiently that they go unnoticed until they are needed. A well-built genset kicks in instantly to restore normal operations in seconds while running in real-world conditions.

Designed and produced by Caterpillar (NI) Limited under the Caterpillar Production System (CPS), 

 gensets are designed to provide sustainable durability, efficiency, and reliability. They are thoroughly tested as an integrated system prior to deployment, ensuring that each component, right from the engine to the alternator, works in sync together.

The main functions of a high-quality genset are to endure harsh temperatures, provide stable power output, and reduce the risk of sudden shutdowns. Most lower-grade gensets tend to degrade in high ambient conditions, causing interruptions when power is most required. But FG Wilson gensets are designed to provide stable performance even under such challenging conditions.

The strength of a backup system is also gauged by the support provided. That is why FG Wilson gensets in India are supported by 

, with single-point service and warranty management for the integrated solution. If something goes wrong, building managers do not need to navigate several vendors or bureaucratic processes. One call to Gmmco is all it takes to get operations back up and running.

Selecting a genset is not just about choosing a product. It’s about collaborating with an organisation that represents reliability and provides a fully integrated solution from purchase to long-term support.

For over five decades, from commercial skyscrapers and residential high-rises to data centres, hospitals, and industrial hubs, Gmmco has powered some of India’s most essential infrastructure projects. Gmmco also delivers end-to-end power solutions, ensuring clients receive the best consultations, hassle-free installation, and servicing in the long run.

Gmmco takes a proactive approach to power management from project planning to execution and preventive maintenance to emergency repairs. Developers and property managers trust them because they go beyond simply selling generators; they ensure that buildings always have power when it matters most.

In an era where buildings are reaching new heights and reliability is non-negotiable, choosing the right power backup system is a decision that directly impacts business continuity, safety, and operational efficiency.

Every second of downtime in a high-rise matters. While it is true that a carefully planned power backup system keeps the building humming along even when the grid goes dark, the difference between a seamless operation and an expensive mistake for procurement managers ultimately hinges on making the correct decision right from the start of a project.

The true capability of your backup system is tested only when lights flicker or lifts halt. However, the right decision prevents downtime and ensures 100% continuity of life every time. Gmmco together with Caterpillar and FG Wilson gensets, helps lifts keep moving, security systems stay online, and businesses operate uninterrupted!

Keeping High-Rise Living Safe

Recently, I visited a construction site and noticed heavy equipment such as 

 working in perfect synchronisation and at their peak productivity due to their skilled operators. This reinforced my belief that these machines are the pillars of the construction industry. 

The ease with which these vehicles can be operated today stands in stark contrast to the situation years ago, when the industry relied on manual labour powered by human effort. Today, technological advancement and automation make the industry work faster, safer, and more efficient than ever. 

India’s expenditure on infrastructure development is expected to cross $1.4 trillion by 2025, emphasising the need for new machinery that incorporates flexible tool attachments, smart fleet management systems, and optimised fuel consumption.

Do you need world-class heavy equipment solutions? 

Building the Future: How Heavy Equipment is Powering the Construction Industry’s Transformation

No other heavy equipment is as important in construction as the hydraulic excavator. An excavator is a combination of an arm, bucket, boom, and rotating cabin placed on top of an undercarriage with wheels or tracks. It can perform all kinds of jobs, such as earthmoving, demolition, excavation, dredging, and trenching.

How does it accomplish these functions? You can understand how an excavator functions by examining its hydraulics. The excavator’s arm glides as smoothly as it does because of the hydraulic cylinders inside the structure. These cylinders get their power from the hydraulic system. At the heart of this hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump powered by the excavator’s engine.

The hydraulic fluid, a type of oil, is pumped through pipes by the pump. This high-pressure fluid reaches the hydraulic cylinder, displacing a piston within it, which moves a rod, and the rod causes part of the arm to move—lift, lower, or turn it. This is how excavators can scoop, lift, and dig. 

But in what ways do excavators specifically contribute to construction?

At their core, excavators are earthmoving machines ideal for digging trenches to lay pipelines, laying the foundation for buildings, or digging tunnels. These machines have the required power and control to undertake these operations with ease and finesse.

Excavators also assist in moving materials along a site or between sites. Their hydraulic arms and high-lifting capabilities make them the perfect equipment for digging, loading, and relocating materials on job sites.

Excavators are also great at shaping and modelling terrain for functional and aesthetic applications. Regarding landscaping, excavators can discard unwanted material, shape the land, and prepare the ground for planting or paving. 

Grading, a key activity to ensure level ground, can also be achieved using excavators. Accurate grading ensures proper water runoff management and minimises future drainage problems, preventing water damage to structures.

How can you equip excavators to ensure maximum productivity?

Depending on your project needs, there is a wide range of Cat® excavators to choose from Gmmco’s catalogue. For instance, the 

, with an operating weight of 13,300 kg, is ideal for general construction, utility work, and small-scale excavation. On the other end of the spectrum of options is the 

 with an operating weight of 94,100 kg, which is best suited to projects requiring heavy-duty excavation, mining, and large-scale earthmoving. 

While these excavators are powerful and valuable machines, their functionality increases significantly with attachments. With augers, grapples, rippers, and compactors among a wide range of attachments, these machines can be converted into multi-functional machines ideal for a particular purpose.

For instance, with attachments like hydraulic breakers or shears, excavators can perform demolition duties—anything from demolishing low-rise residential buildings to breaking concrete in vast industrial areas. Their pinpoint accuracy ensures safety and efficiency, particularly in environments that call for delicate removal.

Both the Cat 395 and Cat 313D2 L accommodate a variety of similar attachments, such as general-duty buckets for digging, hydraulic hammers for breaking up concrete, grapples for material handling, and quick couplers to allow rapid attachment changes. These attachments enable both excavators to execute essential functions such as digging, demolition, and clearing sites. Also, both machines have compactors for stabilising soil, tilt buckets for grading, and augers for drilling holes, making them useful in multiple construction applications.

However, depending on their size and power, some attachments are specific to different excavators. The Cat 395, a heavy-duty machine, accommodates rock buckets, multi-processors, and shears and is therefore best suited for large-scale excavation, mining, and industrial demolition. The Cat 313D2 L, for smaller projects, accommodates ditch-cleaning buckets, thumb attachments, and light hydraulic hammers and is best suited for urban construction, utility work, and landscaping.

From laying foundations to landscaping and demolition, excavators are essential to the construction industry today. Versatile and powerful, excavators are your go-to machines for many on-site operations.

Whether working on small-scale utility projects or big industrial projects, selecting the right excavator can significantly improve efficiency, safety, and outcomes. 

, you’re equipped to tackle any challenge the job site throws your way.

How Do Excavators Contribute to Construction?

With distinct use cases, both the wheel loader and the backhoe loader are indispensable tools on a job site. A wheel loader is a machine used for tasks involving earthmoving operations. A backhoe loader combines a loader and a backhoe; it can scoop up materials as well as excavate or dig the earth.

If you’re wondering which one you need, the answer depends on the scope of the project you’re undertaking. But worry not—by the end of this article, you’ll be in a position to make an informed decision.

Differences between wheel loaders and backhoe loaders

The wheel loader is built primarily for one function, and it performs that task spectacularly well. Thanks to its robust lifting capabilities, it can scoop, lift, and dump a variety of materials—such as gravel, rubble, debris, soil, and dirt—with ease.

 based on your operating weight requirements. From the 950L Wheel Loader with an operating weight of 18,136 kg to the massive 994K Wheel Loader with an operating weight of 242,605 kg, you have a range of options to choose from. For instance, the 950L Wheel Loader is a versatile mid-sized loader which is ideal for day-to-day work in construction, quarries, and material yards, whereas the 994K Wheel Loader is a mining loader designed to move gigantic volumes of material.

The backhoe loader, on the other hand, brings dual functionality to the table. Its articulated arm and rear backhoe are ideal for digging and excavating, while the front bucket can be used for scooping, dumping, and levelling earth. In many ways, it brings together the best of a loader and an excavator into one powerful machine.

 (available in both 2WD and 4WD) is a highly efficient example, offering a 7,980 kg operating capacity.

The wheel loader has the upper hand when it comes to speed and mobility. It is the ideal equipment for transporting materials from one job site to another, including strenuous tasks involving rough terrains.

The backhoe loader might be slower due to being a bit less agile, but it does come in handy in varied conditions though it is not as fast with moving materials as the wheel loader.

Though both wheel loaders and backhoe loaders support a variety of attachments, they differ in their versatility depending on the application.

Backhoe loaders are designed to be multi-efficient, thus they can have multiple attachments such as: augers, grapples, magnets, hydraulic hammers, rock breakers, and various buckets. This is beneficial for jobs involving a quick succession of digging, trenching, or material handling with tool changes.

On the other hand, wheel loaders are specialised in buckets for specific materials like rocks, coal, iron ores, and are more utilised during high-volume loading and hauling. In some cases like the 950L, there is a provision to add tools like forks, while the 994K simply emphasises durability and load efficiency with Ground Engaging Tools (GETs). Such versatility allows for a much larger range of operations to be completed with one machine.

 offer greater attachment variety, while wheel loaders prioritise heavy-duty material movement with specialised bucket systems.

Use cases of wheel loaders and backhoe loaders

In cases where the primary activity of a business is to load and move extremely heavy materials, a wheel loader is the perfect choice. In the logging and carpentry business, they skillfully transport timber and lumber. In quarrying and mining, crushed stone, gravel, and raw minerals are moved by wheel loaders with maximum efficiency. Their role in construction and demolition is as significant, where they deal with construction wastes and materials, load rubbish, and use bulldozers to trim bushes, or clear debris.

For construction and farming businesses, even when dealing with loading or displacing waste, hay, or feed between agricultural structures, their material handling capabilities are beneficial. Wheel loaders can accommodate both rough and delicate handling requirements by switching between bucket sizes and attachments like bale spears or forks.

Conversely, backhoe loaders do well in areas with multiple uses and limited space.  They are particularly useful in utility work, where their compact size and precise digging capabilities allow for trenching around pipes and cables in urban or suburban areas. They perform construction-related duties like grading, backfilling, and foundation excavation, and they are frequently the preferred machine on small to medium-sized job sites. 

They are also used in agriculture to fix fences, dig irrigation channels, and move items in confined areas where bigger machinery might not fit.  Landscaping teams use backhoe loaders for effectively moving dirt, planting trees, and shaping the landscape. Their dual functionality—loader in front, backhoe in rear—makes them an incredibly versatile and cost-effective solution for projects requiring both digging depth and material handling, without the need for separate machines.

In conclusion, because of its great capacity and efficiency, a wheel loader is perfect for companies that handle large materials in sectors like mining, logging, or construction. A backhoe loader is best suited for versatile tasks in domains such as utility work, small-scale construction, agriculture, and landscaping due to its relatively compact size and dual-functionality.

To meet your unique demands, Gmmco provides a range of wheel loaders and backhoe loaders.  To find out more about the various features or if you need to buy or rent for your project needs,
