Tata Group and TCS to build hyperscale AI infrastructure with OpenAI in India

To deploy 100 MW AI infrastructure initially, build industry-specific AI solutions, and enable enterprises to scale AI across India and globally.

The Tata Group and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have announced a multi-dimensional partnership with OpenAI to build hyperscale AI infrastructure in India and develop industry-specific AI solutions for enterprises.

The collaboration covers AI infrastructure, enterprise tools, and joint go-to-market initiatives in India and globally.

TCS’ HyperVault unit and OpenAI have agreed to a multi-year partnership to develop AI infrastructure in India.

In the initial phase, TCS will develop AI infrastructure with 100 MW capacity, with an option to scale to 1 GW, and support next-generation AI workloads.

According to TCS, its data centres are powered by green energy and purpose-built with liquid cooling and high rack densities. They provide network connectivity across all key cloud regions.

Tata Group employees will get access to Enterprise ChatGPT to enhance productivity and TCS will leverage OpenAI’s Codex to boost software engineering outcomes.

OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, said, “India is already leading the way in AI adoption, and with its talent, ambition, and strong government support, it is well placed to help shape its future. Through OpenAI for India and our partnership with Tata Group, we’re working together to build the infrastructure, skills, and local partnerships needed to build AI with India, for India, and in India, so that more people across the country can access and benefit from it.”

Industry-specific Agentic AI solutions

The partnership extends to building industry-specific Agentic AI solutions.

OpenAI brings its agentic AI capabilities, while TCS provides deep contextual knowledge of industry requirements and deployment expertise.

Together, they will create AI solutions tailored for enterprises in India and globally, with a focus on integration, scaling, and operational deployment.

TCS and OpenAI will undertake joint go-to-market initiatives, helping Indian and global enterprises adopt AI-driven solutions.

TCS will support clients in deploying, integrating, and scaling OpenAI’s advanced AI platforms within their organisations.

Tata Sons’ chairman, N Chandrasekaran , said, “This deep collaboration between OpenAI and Tata Group marks a major milestone in India’s vision to become a global leader in AI. We are pleased to partner with OpenAI to create state-of-the-art AI infrastructure in India. This is a unique opportunity for OpenAI and TCS to transform industries. Together we will skill India’s youth and empower them to succeed in the AI era.”

This week, TCS also expanded its collaboration with AMD to bring the company’s “Helios” rack-scale AI architecture to India.

Through its HyperVault AI Data Center subsidiary, TCS will co-develop a rack-scale AI infrastructure based on the Helios platform, supporting India’s national AI initiatives and sovereign AI factories.

The partnership will make a 200MW Helios deployment available to enterprises across India, providing additional options for large-scale AI workloads.

The latest developments signal growing domestic demand for hyperscale AI infrastructure and opportunities for channel partners to integrate, deploy, and manage high-performance AI systems for enterprise customers.
