TCS and OpenAI Partner for 100MW High-Density Infrastructure

In a strategic move destined to reshape the global artificial intelligence landscape, OpenAI has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to establish a dedicated 100MW AI infrastructure in India.

This collaboration marks OpenAI’s first major infrastructure investment in South Asia, leveraging TCS’s extensive local expertise and the Tata Group’s massive industrial footprint to accelerate AI adoption across the subcontinent.

TCS Building India’s Sovereign AI Backbone

The partners are developing a 100-megawatt (MW) high-density data center specifically optimized for Large Language Model (LLM) training and inference as the core of this partnership.

Unlike generic data centers, this facility will be outfitted with the latest NVIDIA H200 and Blackwell GPU clusters.

The primary goal is to provide Indian enterprises, startups, and government agencies with low-latency access to OpenAI’s GPT-4o and future models, while ensuring that data processing adheres to India’s evolving data residency laws.

Strategic Synergy: OpenAI’s Tech Meets TCS Scale

For OpenAI, the partnership provides a physical gateway into one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies.

For TCS, the move represents a shift from being a software service provider to an AI infrastructure powerhouse.

TCS will manage the operational layer of the infrastructure, integrating OpenAI’s frontier models into its suite of industry-specific solutions for banking, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Industry experts expect this “AI-as-a-Service” model to drastically lower the entry barrier for Indian firms looking to deploy generative AI at scale.

Powering Local Innovation and Indic Languages

Technicians will dedicate a significant portion of the 100MW capacity to fine-tuning models on Indic languages.

By utilizing local datasets, the partnership aims to overcome the current English-centric limitations of AI.

This approach makes technology more accessible to India’s diverse linguistic population.

This aligns with the Indian government’s “IndiaAI” mission, which promotes the creation of indigenous AI capabilities.

Sustainability and the 2030 Vision

Consistent with the Tata Group’s “Project Chi” sustainability goals, the new infrastructure will prioritize green energy.

Operators expect the facility to utilize advanced liquid cooling technologies to manage the immense heat generated by AI workloads.

It aims for an industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratio.

This infrastructure is slated to be fully operational by late 2026.
