India's largest conglomerate L&T partners with Nvidia to construct India's largest gigawatt-scale AI compute facility.
At the India AI Summit, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and NVIDIA announced a proposed venture under the India AI Mission to build sovereign, scalable GW-scale NVIDIA AI factory infrastructure. The partnership targets India's enterprises, policymakers, industry leaders, global off takers, and analysts seeking production-grade AI capacity anchored in India's digital and industrial transformation.
The venture integrates L&T's engineering, infrastructure development, and execution capabilities with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, including NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, and networking systems, along with NVIDIA-accelerated storage platforms from leading providers and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack. The deployment will include AI-ready datacenter infrastructure, advanced computing platforms, and ecosystem enablement required to support large-scale AI workloads across priority sectors.
In alignment with the India AI Mission, this 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. This "sovereign by-design" fabric is intended to serve domestic requirements, global hyperscalers, cloud providers, and enterprises seeking to deploy large-scale AI capacity from India as a strategic hub.
The venture plans to develop gigawatt-scale AI data center capacity for high-density, next-generation workloads. It will scale NVIDIA GPU cluster deployment at its Chennai data center up to 30 MW capacity within its 300-acre Gigawatt scalable campus, and develop a new 40 MW data center in Mumbai currently under execution.
The venture positions itself as enabling AI factories at national scale—"sovereign by design, optimized for accelerated computing, and ready to serve global and domestic AI demand." This initiative advances India's AI Mission and its vision of "Making AI in India and Making AI Work for India."
