CoreWeave and AdaniConneX plan major AI data centres in India
CoreWeave is a company that provides computing power for artificial intelligence.
It is working with AdaniConneX to build data centre capacity in Navi Mumbai, India.
The project will start with 240 megawatts of capacity, and it could eventually reach 480 megawatts.
The first facilities are expected to open in mid-2028.
CoreWeave says the project will cost multiple billions of dollars over time.
The centres will use Nvidia chips to help train and run AI systems.
India’s data centre capacity is expected to grow substantially by 2030.
The new facilities are part of that wider growth.
CoreWeave plans to use 240 megawatts of capacity at AdaniConneX’s Taloja campus in Navi Mumbai, with an option to double it to 480 megawatts.
The project is CoreWeave’s first data centre expansion in India, and its first facilities are expected to come online in mid-2028.
The investment is expected to total multiple billions of dollars over the project’s lifetime, and CoreWeave is also establishing an office in India.
The facilities will use Nvidia’s Vera Rubin chips for AI tasks, including training and running models and powering AI agents.
India’s operational data centre capacity is projected to grow from about 2.2 gigawatts to 12 gigawatts by 2030, according to a Wood Mackenzie report.
