Lucknow. The country’s largest AI data center will be established in Uttar Pradesh. AM Green Group will invest Rs 2.27 lakh crore to set up a state-of-the-art Computer Data Center of one gigawatt capacity. The state government has signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AM Green Group for this project at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos (Switzerland). The data center will serve global Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads. This data center will be established in Greater Noida.

This agreement signed in Davos on Tuesday is being considered a big step towards making UP the country’s major data center and AI hub. Under the project, a target has been set to reach one gigawatt data center by 2030 in two phases. The first capacity of the AI ​​Infrastructure Hub will be operational by 2028. The proposed investment in the project is over Rs 2.27 lakh crore, which will be one of the largest data center investments ever in the country.

About 5 lakh state-of-the-art high-performance chipsets will be installed in the data center, which will accelerate High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI based services. The facility will support global hyperscalers, Frontier Labs, enterprises and India’s sovereign AI initiatives at scale. This data center will also provide chipset access to Indian developers, which will lead to rapid development of AI solution stack in the country.

UP’s policies became cooperative
The data center policy of the state government, strong industrial corridor, excellent connectivity and investor friendly environment is the result of which AM Green Group has chosen UP for this project. The project will be based on carbon-free green energy, using wind power, solar power and pumped storage. This will also strengthen the policy of green energy and sustainable development of the Yogi government.

FDI and new technology ecosystem will get a boost along with employment.
The project is likely to bring in large-scale foreign direct investment (FDI). High-skilled jobs will also be created. This will develop local technology ecosystem to hardware manufacturing, software development and special cooling technology. AM Green Group Chairman Anil Chalmalasetti said that AI is the cornerstone of the future and this investment is a big step towards a sustainable, carbon-neutral digital economy.

Our entry into the AI ​​full-stack ecosystem is a natural extension of our ‘technology-first’ approach, through which we will provide integrated end-to-end solutions for various industries. Company President Mahesh Kolli described the support of Yogi government as an important link in the success of the project. The data center will be developed taking advantage of UP’s strong industrial corridor and favorable data center policy, which will provide low-latency and high reliable connectivity to the growing digital markets.

Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna has said that strategic discussions have been held with companies like Bayer Consumer Health, Greenco, REC Limited, Reliasat and Cognizant, besides Jubilant Bharatiya Group.
