Larsen & Toubro partners with Nvidia to build India’s largest AI factory under India AI Mission

Larsen & Toubro on Wednesday, February 18, announced a partnership with Nvidia to build India’s largest gigawatt-scale AI factory under the India AI Mission, combining engineering and infrastructure expertise with advanced AI computing platforms.

The project will deploy AI-ready data centre infrastructure, advanced computing systems and ecosystem enablement required to support large-scale AI workloads across priority sectors. The companies said the partnership targets India’s enterprises, policymakers, industry leaders and global off takers seeking production-grade AI capacity anchored in India’s digital and industrial transformation.

The venture integrates L&T’s engineering, infrastructure development and execution with Nvidia’s AI infrastructure, including GPUs, CPUs, networking, accelerated storage platforms, the Nvidia AI Enterprise software stack and reference architectures to enable rapid and secure AI adoption. It will support the creation of sovereign AI infrastructure that allows critical data and AI workloads to be built and deployed within India while remaining interoperable with global ecosystems.

Under the plan, the venture will scale Nvidia GPU cluster deployment at L&T’s Chennai data centre to 30 MW capacity within its 300-acre gigawatt-scalable campus and at a new 40 MW datacentre in Mumbai currently under execution. The AI factory model is designed to deliver advanced AI services to global off takers, hyperscalers and Indian companies across manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, financial services, healthcare and public services, enabling a shift from experimentation to production-scale deployment.

L&T said it currently has 32 MW of datacentre capacity, of which 14 MW is operational, while another 18 MW is expected to be commissioned by the end of the current fiscal year. The total capital expenditure investment in the datacentre business is about ₹1,000 crore.
