A subsidiary of Tata Consultancy Services and its partners plan to invest up to $7.4 billion in a 1 gigawatt AI data center campus in Telangana, India.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) subsidiary HyperVault has secured 264 acres in Hyderabad, Telangana, for the development of a 1 gigawatt AI data center campus. The project, which will be developed in phases, is expected to serve AI companies and hyperscalers, with a focus on supporting high-density GPU deployments for AI training and inference. The investment, up to 700 billion rupees ($7.41 billion), underscores TCS's commitment to expanding its infrastructure capabilities in India.

TCS CEO K Krithivasan emphasized that Hyderabad's scale, talent, and ecosystem make it an ideal location for the facility, which is anticipated to become one of India's largest AI infrastructure projects at full buildout. The announcement follows TCS's recent agreement to acquire Porsche AG's automotive and consulting unit MHP, reflecting the company's broader strategy to diversify its services beyond traditional IT offerings.
