CloudExtel raises ₹200 crore for AI-ready infra
CloudExtel, a company that builds and manages internet networks, has raised ₹200 crore from banks and its existing investors.
This money will help them expand their fibre network in big cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi.
They also plan to build special connections between data centers, which are important for AI and cloud services.
CloudExtel's goal is to become one of the biggest providers of internet infrastructure in India.
They currently have a lot of small internet stations and fibre cables, and they provide internet access to over a million homes.
This new funding will help them grow faster and serve more customers.
CloudExtel raised ₹200 crore in debt and equity funding to expand its metro fibre network and build AI-ready infrastructure.
The funds will be used to speed up network rollout and strengthen presence in major metros like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi.
A significant portion of the capital will go towards the new Data Center Interconnect (DCI) network, which offers high-capacity and low-latency links between data centers.
CloudExtel operates on a network-as-a-service model, providing bundled fibre and small-cell infrastructure to telecom operators, enterprises, and data centers.
The company has already deployed 6,500 small cells, laid over 12,000 km of fibre, and enabled FTTH access to more than one million homes across 500 cities.
