A look into $AAPL supply chain for WWDC ;
$MU — Makes DRAM/NAND memory chips used in iPhones, Macs, and iPads.
$QCOM — Supplies cellular modems for iPhone
$AVGO — Provides RF chips, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combos, and custom ASIC co-development with Apple.
$SONY — Manufactures the CMOS image sensors behind iPhone cameras.
$SWKS — Makes RF front-end chips enabling cellular connectivity; also losing share to Apple’s internalization.
Still think this US list from $MRVL to $ARM to $INTC was goated.
Just as a recap if new followers were wondering what US equities I like.
Especially because I've been talking about international companies recently.
@DollarCostAvg what is the cost of building 1MW datacenter capacity?, Also ongoing maintenance charges and GPU replacement cycle, this need to be priced in to understand accurate picture of this revenue.
AirTrunk just announced ₹3 lakh crore to build 5 GW of data center capacity in India by 2030.
That alone is more than 3x the entire country's operational capacity today.
The headlines will focus on the operator. But ₹3 lakh crore doesn't stay with the operator. It builds the shell and buys everything inside it.
So, the more useful question is: where does this money actually flow? Here's the full value chain 👇
India runs 1.5 GW of operational data center capacity today across 160+ facilities. Street estimates put the country at 5-8 GW by 2030. Market size: $10bn in 2025 → $22bn by 2030.
AirTrunk entered India, via the Lumina CloudInfra buyout, with a 600 MW starting pipeline across Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. Backed by Blackstone and CPPIB.
The demand stack is broad:
🔹 AI training and inference
🔹 Hyperscale cloud (AWS, Azure, Google)
🔹 Data localisation (RBI norms, DPDP Act)
🔹 5G + 25GB+ monthly data per user
🔹 Digital payments and enterprise digitisation
India builds at ~$6-7M per MW, cheaper than Singapore or Japan. Cheap to build, captive demand, 20-year tax holidays. Structural, not cyclical.
⚡️ Why AI Data centers are a different from Traditional Data Centers.
A traditional rack draws 5-15 kW. An AI rack draws 30-130 kW. NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72 pulls 130 kW in one rack. A GPU burns 700-1,000W per chip. A CPU burns 150-200W.
That single fact rewrites the build:
🔹 Air cooling dies past 30-40 kW per rack. Liquid cooling becomes mandatory (handles 100-200 kW)
🔹 PUE matters more. Liquid runs 1.05-1.15 vs 1.4-1.6 for air
🔹 More fiber per rack for high-density, low-latency interconnect
🔹 Heavier power gear per MW. Transformers, switchgear, UPS
An AI data center consumes far more equipment per MW than a legacy colo. The spend concentrates below the operator.
The value chain, layer by layer
Land + build → operators
🔹 Anant Raj: 28 MW operational, targeting 63 MW by Dec 2026, 357 MW by FY32. DC + cloud revenue ₹176 cr in FY26.
🔹 Bharti Airtel (Nxtra), Reliance (Jio), Adani (AdaniConneX). Jefferies sees these three at 35-40% of capacity by 2030. Sify is the NASDAQ-listed pure play.
Power infrastructure → the real chokepoint
🔹 Hitachi Energy India: order backlog ₹29,000 cr. Data center was the single largest order-segment contributor in both Q3 and Q4 FY26. Just added ₹2,000 cr capex for a new transformer plant.
🔹 CG Power: order book ₹14,800 cr across transformers and switchgear.
🔹 GE Vernova T&D, Siemens Energy, ABB India sit in the same HV pool.
Backup power → gensets, batteries, UPS
🔹 Cummins India: in Q2 FY26 its power-gen segment grew 50% YoY, with data centers alone making up ~40% of that segment. Every 1 MW of IT load needs up to ~1.5 MW of standby diesel.
🔹 Kirloskar Oil Engines: KOEL Green, the other large listed genset name.
🔹 Amara Raja: largest share in India's data center battery segment (VRLA / UPS).
Cables (power + EHV)
🔹 Polycab: Data centers named as a core driver under its ₹6,000-8,000 cr "Project Spring" capex.
🔹 KEI Industries: EHV cables + US data center exports.
Cooling
🔹 Aeroflex Industries: Just entered AI data center liquid-cooling skid assemblies, 5% of FY26 sales, management guiding to 20-22% in FY27 as it scales capacity from 2,000 to 15,000 skids a year.
🔹 Blue Star, Voltas: precision cooling and chillers. As liquid cooling scales, this layer shifts from commodity HVAC to mission critical.
Connectivity → optical fiber
🔹 Sterlite Technologies (STL): order book ₹7,309 cr in FY26, Enterprise + DC is 20% of revenue, guided to 30%. Its Celesta cable packs 864 fibres in a sub-12mm diameter, built for AI data halls.
🔹 HFCL: optical fiber + telecom equipment.
Compute → servers, GPUs, AI cloud
🔹 Netweb Technologies: AI segment grew 460% YoY in Q4. Won a ₹1,734 cr sovereign-AI order on NVIDIA Blackwell under the IndiaAI Mission.
🔹 E2E Networks: the listed GPU-cloud play. 3,900 NVIDIA GPUs, deploying Blackwell B200 clusters, empanelled under the IndiaAI Mission, hosting capacity at L&T's Chennai facility.
📌The opportunity ahead:
India’s data center opportunity is moving from 1.5 GW today to 5–8 GW by 2030.
But the real opportunity is not just in operators. It is in the layers beneath them: power, cooling, fiber, equipment and compute infrastructure.
As AI workloads rise, every MW needs more equipment intensity than before.
Digital India was earlier an app story. This decade, it becomes a hard-infrastructure story.

Nuclear bulls, you might want to pay attention to this.
During a live event at the Oval Office today, a reporter asked about small modular reactors. Energy Secretary Chris Wright responded by emphasizing just how important SMRs are to America's energy future.
Then he casually dropped this:
"Before the sun goes down today, you'll see a BIG announcement in the nuclear space."
I've been pounding the table on nuclear for months now. Let's see what they've got cooking.

@DollarCostAvg What is the cost of building 1 MW capacity ? I read it takes 40-50 billion to build 1 GW capacity if that’s correct it cost 4-5 million / MW.
10 stocks to watch during Computex 2026. These are key data centre related stocks :
$MU — HBM4 36GB delivering 2.6x inference throughput; memory bull case just got louder. 
$MRVL — Jensen called Marvell the next trillion-dollar company; CPO chips confirmed future.
$VRT — Rack power hitting 180kW; Vertiv’s power and thermal management demand accelerating fast. 
$LITE — Named as relevant across optical modules and fiber alongside Coherent; CPO wave rising. 
$ARM — RTX Spark is Windows on Arm; Nvidia just validated Arm’s PC architecture ambitions hard. 
$AAOI — Makes optical networking components (lasers, transceivers) for data centers and telecom.
$AOSL — Designs power semiconductors (MOSFETs, gate drivers) for consumer electronics and EVs.
$POWI — Makes energy-efficient power conversion ICs for appliances, IoT, and industrial use.
$GLW — NVIDIA partnership locks Corning into AI factory fiber supply; 10x US manufacturing capacity. 
$ANET — Capturing majority of 800G and 1.6T switch upgrades as AI clusters shift to open Ethernet-over-Fiber. 
$ON — No direct Computex presence found. ON Semi is a Computex spectator, not a headliner.
NVIDIA is telling you exactly where to invest with its new 800V DC power architecture.
The old 48V system can't keep up. 800V reduces copper usage by 45%, cuts the power chain from 5 conversion stages to 2, and cuts power delivery losses in half.
These 7 companies are building the power layer underneath it all.
1. $ON - onsemi
SiC and GaN chips for high-voltage power conversion across AI and EVs. AI data center revenue nearly doubled YoY and is expected to double again in 2026. The key number: their content per AI rack scales from $15,000 today to $115,000 in next-gen 800V architectures. A 7.7x increase per rack deployed.
$NOW can easily triple from $125 by Jan 2027.
Remember, token use is expected to 2800% in 5 years says $GS.

@Venu_7_ True, people only make money with their own convictions and not by the ticker somebody discovered first. Thesis helps, but most folks who develop convictions do their own research before committing big amount..
