Super Micro Computer announced on February 19, 2026 that it is evaluating a large expansion into India, including the establishment of local manufacturing facilities to serve the country’s rapidly growing artificial‑intelligence sector. The move is aimed at tapping India’s booming AI market, which is expected to become a major driver of global AI infrastructure demand.
By building production capacity in India, Super Micro seeks to reduce lead times, lower shipping costs, and gain a competitive edge in a region where hyperscalers are increasingly sourcing AI hardware locally. The expansion aligns with India’s Make‑in‑India initiative, which could provide government support and incentives.
Super Micro’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic importance of the expansion. The company reported a massive second‑quarter earnings beat and raised its full‑year revenue guidance to at least $40 billion. Over 90% of the reported quarterly revenue came from AI platforms. FY2024 sales reached $14.94 billion, a 110% increase from FY2023, and Q3 FY2025 revenues were $4.6 billion with a gross margin of 9.6%. The earnings beat was driven by strong demand for AI hardware, pricing power in high‑margin AI platform contracts, and operational leverage as revenue scales.
Investors reacted positively to the announcement, reflecting confidence in the expansion and the company’s strong earnings outlook. The market reaction was driven by analyst upgrades, the Make‑in‑India expansion reports, the strong revenue outlook, and insider buying disclosures.
Management commentary highlighted the company’s careful approach to the India expansion. Vik Malyala, Managing Director & President, EMEA, said the company is “carefully looking at that part of it to see what actually makes sense to make in India whether it’s through us or through our partners.” He added that Super Micro is hiring its own people to help customers and is closely monitoring the Make‑in‑India initiative to determine the most effective way to produce its technology locally.
The expansion represents a strategic pivot that diversifies Super Micro’s supply chain, mitigates geopolitical risks, and positions the company to capture a larger share of India’s AI market. By establishing local manufacturing, Super Micro can offer faster delivery, lower costs, and tailored solutions to Indian hyperscalers and enterprises, potentially opening new revenue streams and strengthening its position as a leading AI‑server supplier.
