The project includes a four-year engagement worth over $1 billion under which Nvidia will establish one of Asia-Pacific's largest DGX Cloud clusters ‌within Yotta's infrastructure, ⁠the company said.

The move comes as global cloud providers including Microsoft and Amazon ⁠expand AI data centre capacity in India, amid rising demand for generative AI services and a ​push to ​localise advanced computing ​infrastructure.

The investment also comes ‌amid US export controls that have reshaped global supply chains for advanced AI chips, prompting companies to deepen partnerships in markets such as India.

The supercluster, expected to go live by August, will ‌be deployed at Yotta's data ​centre campus near capital New ​Delhi, with additional ​capacity from its facility in India's ‌financial capital Mumbai.

Yotta, part ​of Indian billionaire ​Niranjan Hiranandani's real estate group, is a partner firm for Nvidia in India and ​runs three data ‌center campuses in Mumbai, Gujarat and near ​New Delhi.

"The collaboration reflects a broader shift in global AI compute supply chains, where advanced AI infrastructure is increasingly distributed across trusted regions.

"India's emergence as a major AI infrastructure node reinforces strategic technology collaboration between India and the United States and strengthens shared priorities around secure, high-performance AI ecosystems," Yotta said.

Backed by a real estate group headed by Niranjan Hiranandani, Yotta runs three datacenter campuses in Mumbai, Gujarat, and Greater Noida near Delhi.

The new AI supercluster will be deployed at a hyperscale data centre in Greater Noida. It is designed to support trillion-parameter foundation model training and high-throughput inference workloads handling millions of simultaneous prompts.

Yotta will also allocate over 10,000 Nvidia B300 GPUs from the cluster to the IndiaAI Mission to support sovereign model development, research institutions, startups and public AI platforms.

Darshan Hiranandani, co-founder and chairman, Yotta Data Services, said, "AI infrastructure is becoming foundational economic infrastructure. This Nvidia Blackwell Ultra supercluster reinforces India's position in the global AI value chain."

Sunil Gupta, co-founder, MD and CEO, Yotta Data Services, added, "India's AI ambition requires sustained, high-performance compute at scale."

Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang said, "India is emerging as one of the world's most important AI markets… Expanding AI Factory capacity in India strengthens Nvidia's regional footprint while supporting India's ambition to build secure, sovereign, and globally competitive AI."

Yotta currently operates over 10,000 Nvidia GPUs, with another 8,000 set to go live next quarter, and plans to scale beyond 80,000 GPUs by FY27 as India expands its AI infrastructure footprint.
