Critical Dependencies
Hitachi Energy is a leading global supplier of high-voltage transformers and grid infrastructure, with high-voltage and generator step-up transformers among the longest lead-time components in the entire AI data center buildout supply chain, constrained by a global shortage of grain-oriented electrical steel. Hitachi Energy India reported a record order backlog of INR 32,222.1 crore as of Q1 FY2027 (June 2026), with data centers cited as a growing share of order intake alongside renewables and transmission projects, and announced an incremental INR 2,000 crore investment in a new transformer manufacturing facility to meet demand.

Hitachi Energy ↔ NVIDIA
2018–2020 · Pre-AI-datacenter-boom customer base
Hitachi Energy's grid equipment supply relationship to NVIDIA-powered AI data centers predates the sharp acceleration in hyperscaler data center buildout from 2023 onward, having earlier served a more conventional utility and industrial grid-equipment customer base.
Now
Hitachi Energy's high-voltage transformers and grid infrastructure, among the longest-lead-time components in the AI data center buildout, provide the power transmission capacity required to energize AI data centers running hardware such as NVIDIA GPUs.
