TCS Plans $7.4B AI Data Center Campus as India Infrastructure Race Grows

TCS subsidiary HyperVault and its partners said on September 6 they plan to invest up to INR 700 billion ($7.41 billion) in a phased 1-gigawatt AI data-center campus in Telangana, India. The announcement gives the platform a specific large-scale site development after TCS and TPG previously committed capital for a broader gigawatt-scale data-center platform.

HyperVault’s 1-GW Telangana campus plan

HyperVault secured 264 acres in Hyderabad on September 5 for a proposed Telangana campus planned around 1 GW of capacity, to be developed in phases. The Indian Express, reporting Reuters, said the plan has that phased 1-GW design.

TCS said the site will provide high-density, liquid-cooled infrastructure for frontier AI companies and hyperscalers, supporting AI training and inference. That makes the proposal a computing-intensive AI infrastructure project rather than a conventional enterprise data-center build.

The announcement did not specify either a construction timetable or a phase-by-phase capacity schedule, according to the report.

From platform commitment to site build

On November 20, 2025, TCS and TPG said they would commit up to INR 180 billion to develop HyperVault’s gigawatt-scale AI data-center platform. TPG’s contribution under that arrangement was set at up to INR 88.2 billion, according to the Tata Group announcement.

The proposed phased Telangana campus is tied to an investment figure of up to INR 700 billion, materially above the earlier commitment.

HyperVault and its partners announced the INR 700 billion figure. The available announcements do not specify a revised split among investors.

Green-energy and water-neutral design

TCS said the Hyderabad campus will use green energy and water-neutral design principles and is expected to generate several thousand direct and indirect jobs during development and operations.

The company’s September 5 release did not provide a more detailed jobs breakdown or a delivery timeline. The design commitments are plans for the project, rather than completed operating results at this stage.
