OpenAI will become the first customer of Tata Consultancy Services’ data center business, starting with 100 megawatts of capacity in India. The agreement forms part of Stargate, a $500 billion multi-year initiative to build large-scale AI infrastructure for training and inference workloads.
The deal represents a strategic milestone for TCS, which last year announced plans to invest up to $7 billion to develop a 1 gigawatt data center unit in India. The country has emerged as a key market for AI infrastructure, attracting investment from global technology firms including Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, alongside domestic conglomerates such as Reliance and Adani Group.
Separately, TCS parent Tata Group plans to roll out ChatGPT Enterprise across its operations over the next several years, beginning with hundreds of thousands of employees. OpenAI said India now accounts for more than 100 million weekly ChatGPT users, underscoring the country’s growing role in global AI adoption and infrastructure expansion.
