PETALING JAYA: IJM Corp Bhd is riding the data centre boom, with such jobs now accounting for nearly half of its order book and more contract wins expected ahead. CGS International Research (CGSI Research) said data centre jobs now contribute 43% of IJM’s order book of RM9.1bil, while it has a tender book of RM17bil comprising mainly data centres, and commercial and industrial buildings. Notably, the RM658mil contract is IJM’s first win for financial year 2027 (FY27) and the group’s seventh data centre package win. “This data centre has a completion timeline of 13 months, and works are expected to be done by September. On the latest Elmina data centre award, HLIB Research foresees the data centre build-outs in Elmina could enhance the chances for IJM to capture a slice of the sizeable one gigawatt data centre pie.
