The Uttar Pradesh government has signed a landmark $25 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AM Green Group to establish a 1 gigawatt (GW) advanced AI data centre in Greater Noida, marking one of the largest investments in India’s digital infrastructure sector to date.
The agreement was signed at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Davos through the state’s investment promotion agency Invest UP, in the presence of senior state officials. The project is expected to significantly strengthen Uttar Pradesh’s position as a major hub for data centres, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC).
Phased Development with Long-Term Vision
According to officials, the data centre will be developed in phases. The first phase is scheduled to be completed by 2028, while the full 1 GW compute capacity is expected to be operational by 2030.
Once fully commissioned, the facility will house nearly 500,000 advanced chipsets, greatly expanding India’s capability to support large-scale AI workloads, frontier research, and enterprise computing needs.
The centre will cater to global hyperscalers, research institutions, enterprises, and India’s own AI-driven programmes, while also enabling Indian developers and startups to access advanced computing infrastructure.
Boost to AI and Digital Ecosystem
State officials said the project aligns with the Government of India’s ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ vision and will play a key role in building a robust domestic AI ecosystem. By offering access to cutting-edge compute infrastructure, the project is expected to accelerate innovation in areas such as machine learning, data analytics, healthcare AI, fintech, and smart governance.
The investment is also expected to generate thousands of high-skilled jobs and catalyse growth in related sectors, including hardware manufacturing, software development, data centre operations, and advanced cooling technologies.
Focus on Green and Sustainable Infrastructure
A major highlight of the project is its strong emphasis on sustainability. The proposed data centre will operate on 24×7 carbon-free energy, drawing power from a combination of solar, wind, and pumped storage solutions.
Officials said this approach is in line with Uttar Pradesh’s clean energy goals and reflects a growing trend toward environmentally responsible digital infrastructure.
Industry and Government Collaboration
AM Green Group Chairman Anil Chalamalasetty said the company’s move into AI infrastructure is a natural progression of its technology-focused strategy.

“AI is becoming integral to everyday life and will define the future across industries. Our entry into the AI full-stack ecosystem reflects our commitment to building integrated, end-to-end solutions,” he said.
Company President Mahesh Kolli highlighted the role of the state government in enabling the project. “This is not just a data centre. By combining 1 GW of compute capacity with round-the-clock green energy, we are creating a sustainable blueprint for the future of global AI infrastructure,” he said.
Why Uttar Pradesh
Officials noted that Uttar Pradesh’s progressive data centre policy, strong industrial corridors, reliable power infrastructure, and improving connectivity were key factors in attracting the investment. The state’s investor-friendly environment and focus on ease of doing business also played an important role.
With this agreement, Uttar Pradesh takes a major step toward becoming a national and global centre for AI and digital infrastructure, reinforcing its growing profile on the global investment map.
