OpenAI is considering a plan to set up a massive new data centre in India, a project that could become one of its largest investments in Asia under the US government’s Stargate initiative.
As reported by Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter say the ChatGPT-maker is in talks with local partners about building a facility with at least a gigawatt of capacity. If completed, it would rank among the biggest in India, where Microsoft, Google, and billionaire Mukesh Ambani have already poured billions into similar sites to support cloud and AI growth.
The exact location has not been finalised, and the timeline remains uncertain. Some sources suggest CEO Sam Altman may announce the project during an upcoming visit to India, though those plans are still shifting.
