OpenAI Partners with Tata Group for 100MW AI Data Center in India

OpenAI has partnered with Tata Group to secure 100 megawatts of AI-ready data center capacity in India, with plans to scale to 1 gigawatt, according to TechCrunch. The agreement marks OpenAI’s first customer role for Tata Consultancy Services’ HyperVault data center business and is part of the company’s wider Stargate project to expand global AI infrastructure.

The local capacity will enable OpenAI to run its advanced models within India, lowering latency and meeting data residency and compliance requirements for regulated sectors. The facility will feature liquid-cooled, high-density data centers connected to major cloud regions, supporting the company’s enterprise and government workloads.

As part of the collaboration, Tata Group will deploy ChatGPT Enterprise across its workforce, beginning with hundreds of thousands of employees at Tata Consultancy Services. TCS also plans to use OpenAI’s Codex tools for standardizing AI-native software development across its engineering teams.

OpenAI will expand its certification programs in India, with TCS becoming the first participant outside the United States. The company also plans to open new offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru later this year to strengthen its enterprise partnerships and developer engagement in the country.
