Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday announced plans for one of India’s largest AI data-centre campuses after TCS subsidiary HyperVault said it had secured 264 acres in Hyderabad’s Bharat Future City for a facility of up to 1 gigawatt. HyperVault and its partners expect to invest up to ₹70,000 crore to build and operate the campus.

The project will be developed in phases, tied to customer demand and technology needs, and is intended for frontier AI companies, hyperscalers and global enterprises that need high-density GPU capacity for training, inference and other advanced workloads.

CM Reddy has asked the company to aim for inauguration on 2 June 2028, Telangana Formation Day, about 21 months from the announcement.

“Thrilled to welcome TCS- HyperVault to Future City – a defining moment in Telangana’s journey to become a global AI powerhouse. This investment of around ₹70,000 crore, with a 250+ acre campus and up to 1 GW capacity, will establish India’s biggest AI data centre campus and serve as a landmark anchor for Future City – driving innovation, digital infrastructure and high-value growth,” wrote CM Reddy on X.

 

The announcement followed a meeting at the Secretariat on 5 September 2026 between a TCS delegation led by CEO and MD K. Krithivasan and the Chief Minister, with IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu.

“This agreement germinated from a conversation between the CM Reddy with N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, in Davos in January this year. Since then, within a few months, officials and our friends at HyperVault and TCS have moved at the speed of thought to make this happen,” said IT & Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu

During the meeting, Reddy had urged Chandrasekaran to bring “big news” in terms of investment to Telangana. According to the Chief Minister, Chandrasekaran agreed to make an announcement soon.

The proposed campus will be designed specifically for frontier AI companies, hyperscalers and global enterprises. It will support high-density GPU deployments for AI training, inference and advanced computing workloads. The development will take place in phases based on customer demand and technological requirements.

HyperVault said the campus will use liquid-cooled, high-density infrastructure, including direct-to-chip cooling, and will follow green-energy and water-neutral design principles. HyperVault CEO and MD Deepesh Kiran Nanda said “ We are building infrastructure for where AI is going: higher density, liquid cooling, larger power blocks and faster deployment. Hyderabad gives us the foundation to build that at scale for frontier AI companies and hyperscalers.”

The official TCS statement said the project should create several thousand direct and indirect jobs. State and media briefings have put the figure at about 7,000 roles across construction, engineering, technical and operations work. .If delivered at full scale, the Future City campus would be among India’s largest purpose-built AI infrastructure sites.
