Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. said its HyperVault unit and partners have committed up to Rs 70,000 crore ($7.4 billion) for a large-scale artificial intelligence data center campus of up to 1 gigawatt in Hyderabad, accelerating a shift by Indian technology firms into the compute layer that now underpins frontier AI.

A 1 GW AI campus for Hyderabad

TCS unit HyperVault and partners plan up to Rs 70,000 crore ($7.4 billion) for a phased, liquid-cooled data center campus of up to 1 gigawatt in Future City — large enough to rival much of India’s installed data-center base if built in full.

Gigawatts, drawn to scale

One Hyderabad campus (up to 1 GW) would be large next to India’s ~1.6 GW installed base. Domestic demand is estimated at 10–11 GW by 2030.

Column height is proportional to gigawatts (1.6 vs 1 vs 11). 2030 bar uses the high end of the 10–11 GW range.

Why it matters

Officials call the campus historic for Telangana. It pairs green energy and water-neutral design with a state estimate of about 7,000 jobs and a bid to put AI compute in Hyderabad.

Still unproven

1 GW is full capacity, not day one. Halls rise with customer demand, first operations are 18–24 months from groundbreaking, and power offtake remains a practical bottleneck.

Clock

First halls: 18–24 months. Political target: June 2, 2028.

TCS says the campus should be operational 18 to 24 months after breaking ground. Telangana’s chief minister asked for an inauguration on June 2, 2028 — about 21 months from the announcement.
