Larsen & Toubro will build a Nvidia-powered AI hub in India as part of national AI strategy
Larsen & Toubro has announced a proposed venture under the IndiaAI Mission to build sovereign, scalable GW-scale NVIDIA AI factory infrastructure in partnership with NVIDIA. This venture 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, NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack and reference architectures to enable rapid, secure AI adoption. The initiative 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 is designed to create 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 will serve domestic requirements, global hyperscalers, cloud providers and enterprises looking to deploy large-scale AI capacity from India as a strategic hub. It will deploy AI-ready datacenter infrastructure, advanced computing platforms and ecosystem enablement required to support large-scale AI workloads across priority sectors.
The venture plans to develop gigawatt-scale AI data center factory with significant capacity expansion. It will scale NVIDIA GPU cluster deployment at its Chennai datacenter up to 30 MW capacity on its 300 acres Gigawatt-scalable campus and at the new 40 MW datacenter in Mumbai currently under execution. This AI factory model will deliver advanced AI services to global off-takers, hyperscalers and India Inc across manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, financial services, healthcare and public services, moving from experimentation to production-scale deployment with standardised, enterprise-grade AI capabilities.
The venture will enable L&T and its Group companies to deploy live AI agents on Sovereign Cloud, fostering a self-sustaining innovation hub including LTTS's Lights-Out Factory framework leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, 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 democratise 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 realise the full vision of India AI."
