AM Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Invest UP, Government of Uttar Pradesh, to establish a 1 GW high-performance AI compute hub in the Greater Noida region. The proposed facility will involve an estimated investment of around USD 25 billion and will be developed in phases, with initial capacity expected by 2028 and full-scale operations targeted by 2030.

The project is positioned as one of the largest AI infrastructure investments in India to date and aligns with the Government of India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Designed to support global hyperscalers, enterprises, frontier AI labs and India’s sovereign AI initiatives, the hub will house nearly 500,000 advanced high-performance chipsets and cater to large-scale AI and high-performance computing workloads.

The facility will be powered by 24/7 carbon-free energy, leveraging AM Group’s renewable energy portfolio spanning wind, solar and pumped storage solutions. It aims to provide low-latency, high-reliability connectivity while supporting sustainable, net-zero AI infrastructure development.

The project is expected to attract significant foreign direct investment and generate high-skilled employment, while enabling wider access to advanced compute infrastructure for India’s developer ecosystem. The MoU was exchanged at the World Economic Forum in Davos, reinforcing Uttar Pradesh’s ambition to emerge as a key AI and digital infrastructure hub in India.
