TCS HyperVault to invest ₹70,000 crore in 1GW AI data centre in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: One of India’s largest artificial intelligence data centre campuses is all set to come up in Hyderabad with TCS HyperVault, a subsidiary of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), announcing plans to invest Rs 70,000 crore for a gigawatt-scale facility here.
OpenAI’s compute CTO Uday Rudraraju, who joined virtually, said the scale and ambition of the project were significant and reflected India’s growing role in foundational AI infrastructure. It will cater to frontier AI companies like OpenAI, hyperscalers and global enterprises. The announcement comes months after the chief minister met Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran at Davos.
The investment was announced after a high-level TCS delegation led by its CEO & managing director K Krithivasan met Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy at the secretariat on Saturday afternoon and exchanged MoUs.
“This will be the first time that India will witness high rack density compute of more than 170 kW.
HyperVault CEO and managing director Deepesh Kiran Nanda said the campus would be designed for high rack-density compute, liquid cooling, large power blocks and next-generation GPU systems. He said the facility would support future advances in AI hardware. The data centre will be on a par or even ahead of anything that has been built globally,” he said. It is being designed for high-density GPU deployments and will support AI training, inference and advanced computing workloads, TCS said.
The campus, to be developed in phases based on customer demand and evolving technology requirements, is expected to incorporate green energy and water-neutral design principles.
