L&T partners with Nvidia to build India largest gigawatt-scale AI factory.
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced today at the India AI Summit a proposed venture under the India AI Mission to build sovereign, scalable gigawatt-scale NVIDIA AI factory infrastructure to reinforce India's position as a global AI powerhouse. The partnership integrates L&T's engineering, infrastructure development, and execution capabilities with NVIDIA AI infrastructure including NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, Networking, NVIDIA-accelerated storage platforms from leading providers, the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack, and reference architectures to enable rapid, secure AI adoption. The initiative targets India's enterprises, policymakers, industry leaders, global offtakers, and analysts seeking production-grade AI capacity anchored in India's digital and industrial transformation.
In alignment with the India AI Mission, the venture will support the creation of sovereign AI infrastructure that allows critical data, models, and AI workloads to be built, trained, and deployed within India, while remaining interoperable with global ecosystems. The venture plans to develop a gigawatt-scale AI data center factory, providing AI-ready capacity for high-density, next-generation workloads. Specifically, it will scale NVIDIA GPU cluster deployment at its Chennai data center up to 30 MW capacity on its 300-acre gigawatt scalable campus and at the new 40 MW data center in Mumbai currently under execution.
This AI factory model will deliver advanced AI services to global offtakers, hyperscalers, and India Inc across manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, financial services, healthcare, and public services, thereby moving from experimentation to production-scale deployment. The venture will provide standardized, enterprise-grade AI capabilities designed to enable predictable performance, security, and time-to-value for industrial and services use cases. It will also enable L&T and its group companies to deploy live AI agents on Sovereign Cloud, fostering a self-sustaining innovation hub that leverages NVIDIA Omniverse libraries alongside LTTS's Lights-Out Factory framework, LTM's Blueverse, and LTFS's agentic AI deployment.
S. N. Subrahmanyan, Chairman & Managing Director of L&T, stated: "India's enterprises are ready to move from AI pilots to production-scale deployment. The investment establishes the foundation—secure, scalable, and sovereign infrastructure—required to power manufacturing, energy, financial services, healthcare, and public services. With NVIDIA's platforms and L&T's execution strength, we are building infrastructure that will enable AI to deliver measurable economic impact." Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, added: "AI is driving the largest infrastructure buildout in human history—everyone will use it, every company will be powered by it, and every country will build it. Prime Minister Modi has outlined a bold vision to democratize AI access across the Global South and position India as a global hub for digital infrastructure. Together with L&T—an 88-year-old engineering and nation-building leader—we are laying the foundation for world-class AI infrastructure that will power India's growth and help realize the full vision of India AI."
