Larsen & Toubro partners with NVIDIA to accelerate India’s sovereign AI infrastructure and large-scale data centre expansion.
With an agenda to position India as a global AI powerhouse, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has recently partnered with NVIDIA. The aim behind this partnership is to develop sovereign, gigawatt-scale AI factory infrastructure.
This collaboration will target India’s enterprises, policymakers, industry leaders, global off-takers and analysts seeking production-grade AI capacity amid the country’s digital and industrial transformation.
While outlining its plans, L&T said it will deploy AI-ready data centre infrastructure, advanced computing platforms, and ecosystem enablement to support large-scale AI workloads across priority sectors.
The collaboration combines L&T’s engineering, infrastructure development and project execution capabilities with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure portfolio, including GPUs, CPUs, high-performance networking, accelerated storage platforms, the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack and reference architectures designed for secure and rapid AI adoption.
Aligned with the India AI Mission, the initiative aims to build sovereign AI infrastructure that enables the development, training, and deployment of critical data, models, and workloads within India while maintaining interoperability with global technology ecosystems. The “sovereign by-design” framework is intended to support domestic requirements and to enable global hyperscalers, cloud service providers, and enterprises to scale AI operations from India as a strategic hub.
As part of the roadmap, the partners plan to establish a gigawatt-scale AI data centre factory to support high-density, next-generation workloads, ensuring efficient and sustainable expansion.
The initiative will also scale NVIDIA GPU cluster deployment at L&T’s Chennai data centre to a capacity of 30 MW on a 300-acre, gigawatt-scalable campus. Additionally, deployment is planned at a new 40 MW data centre currently under execution in Mumbai.
