AM Group to build USD 25 billion GW scale AI compute hub in Uttar Pradesh
Davos, January 20
AM Group, the leading energy transition platform backed by the founders of Greenko Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Uttar Pradesh government to build a massive Artificial Intelligence compute hub in Greater Noida.
The project, announced at the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, involves a total investment of approximately USD 25 billion. This hub is designed to handle global AI workloads and will be one of the largest investments in India's digital infrastructure to date.
The project will be built in stages, with the first part expected to be ready by 2028. By 2030, the facility is planned to reach its full capacity of 1 gigawatt. The hub will house around 500,000 advanced high-performance chipsets. It is intended to support global tech companies, research labs, and India's own national AI goals by providing the massive computing power needed for modern technology.
A key feature of the new centre is its focus on sustainability. The facility will run on 24/7 carbon-free energy, using a mix of solar, wind, and pumped storage power. This aligns with the state's goal to become a leader in the AI industry while maintaining a commitment to green energy.
The project is also expected to create thousands of high-skilled jobs and attract further investment into the region.
"Evolution of global AI ecosystem with intentionality, intelligence and adaptability will be a pivotal tool for current & future generations. AMG AI labs focus on valorising electron agents into intelligent tokens is a natural extension of our technology-first approach to our businesses as the global AI ecosystem races towards Physical AI Solutions," said Anil Chalamalasetty, Group Chairman, AM Group.
"By combining 1 GW of compute capacity with our 24/7 green power solutions, we are not just building a data centre; we are creating a sustainable template for the future of global AI infrastructure with the support of the state of Uttar Pradesh," added Mahesh Kolli, Group President, AM Group.

While the ambition is commendable, I hope the execution matches the hype. We've seen big MoUs signed before with delays. The 2028 timeline for phase one seems optimistic. My main question: will the "thousands of high-skilled jobs" actually go to local talent from UP, or will it be filled by people from Bangalore and Hyderabad? The state needs to ensure local youth get trained for this.
As someone in the tech industry, the scale of this is mind-blowing. 500,000 advanced chipsets by 2030? That's serious compute power. If they pull off the 24/7 carbon-free energy promise, it could set a global benchmark. India is positioning itself not just as a consumer of AI, but as a critical infrastructure provider. Exciting times.
Amazing! This is exactly the kind of investment we need. It will create a huge ecosystem – not just jobs at the hub, but for suppliers, hospitality, housing, everything. UP is transforming. Hope they also invest in local colleges and ITIs to build the talent pipeline. Jai Hind!
The focus on sustainability is the real winner here. Solar, wind, and pumped storage to power an AI hub shows true vision. We have the chance to leapfrog the old, polluting models of development. Greenko Group has credibility in this space. Fingers crossed it all goes as planned.
I appreciate the scale, but the press release language is full of jargon – "valorising electron agents into intelligent tokens"? Can we have a simpler explanation of what this hub will
