India’s Yotta Data Services will invest more than $2 billion to deploy Nvidia’s latest AI chips in a new supercomputing hub, a move designed to rapidly expand the country’s access to cutting‑edge compute for startups, researchers and enterprise AI. Announced on February 18, 2026, the plan underscores how India’s AI build‑out is accelerating on the back of global partnerships and sovereign infrastructure goals.
Yotta said it will install 20,736 liquid‑cooled Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs at its D2 data center in Greater Noida, outside New Delhi, with additional capacity supported from Mumbai. The company expects the supercluster to go live by August 2026. Alongside the hardware deployment, Nvidia will establish one of Asia‑Pacific’s largest DGX Cloud clusters inside Yotta’s infrastructure under a four‑year engagement valued at over $1 billion. The build targets frontier‑scale model training and high‑throughput inference, using 800 Gbps InfiniBand networking and a high‑performance storage backbone.
The project arrives as India seeks to boost domestic compute for AI research, multilingual foundation models and public‑scale applications. Yotta says more than 10,000 of the new B300 GPUs will be committed to the government’s IndiaAI Mission, widening affordable access for universities, startups and public platforms. For Nvidia, the partnership deepens its footprint in a fast‑growing market and complements broader collaborations with Indian cloud and data‑center providers. APAC’s largest DGX Cloud presence in India would also make advanced AI development more accessible to local firms that have struggled to secure capacity amid global chip shortages.
Yotta’s supercluster is slated to switch on by August 2026, with the company positioning the Greater Noida campus to scale well beyond the initial deployment. Executives have framed the build as foundational economic infrastructure that reduces reliance on offshore compute while supporting India’s ambition to develop sovereign, globally competitive AI. Reuters also reports that Yotta is preparing an initial public offering and may raise up to $1.2 billion to fund expansion, signaling continued capital intensity as India’s AI market matures. Go‑live is targeted for August 2026, with phased capacity additions expected thereafter.
