L&T's Vyoma.AI Breaks Ground on 52 MW AI-Ready Data Centre in Chennai

Vyoma.AI, the AI cloud and data centre business of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has broken ground on a 52 MW AI-ready data centre in Chennai, advancing the company's push to build infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly demanding artificial intelligence and cloud computing workloads. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 28, underscoring the engineering conglomerate's ambition to establish a significant foothold in India's fast-expanding digital infrastructure market.

The facility will employ direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology to manage the substantial heat generated by high-density computing systems, a departure from conventional air-cooling approaches that are increasingly strained by the thermal output of modern AI accelerators. The data centre will also integrate renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies, reflecting a broader industry shift toward sustainable operations as power consumption emerges as a critical constraint on AI infrastructure growth.

The new build is part of L&T's planned gigawatt-scale AI Factory campus in Chennai. That campus already hosts an operational 30 MW facility equipped with AI compute clusters and benefits from 150 MVA of power infrastructure readiness, according to the company. The expansion positions Vyoma.AI to serve hyperscalers, neocloud providers and AI companies seeking computing infrastructure for their workloads.

"The groundbreaking of our 52 MW Chennai data centre marks a significant step in strengthening India's digital infrastructure ecosystem," said Prashant Chiranjive Jain, Managing Director of Vyoma.AI. "As AI adoption accelerates, the data centre is being designed to deliver the performance, scalability and resilience required for next-generation workloads while advancing sustainable, low-carbon digital infrastructure," he added.

The project forms part of Vyoma.AI's broader expansion plans to build more than 250 MW of data centre capacity across India. The company offers sovereign cloud services, GPU-as-a-Service, hyperscale colocation and other data centre infrastructure. India's data centre sector is expanding rapidly as companies invest in infrastructure to support cloud adoption and AI computing, with the growth of AI workloads driving demand for facilities capable of accommodating high-density computing systems alongside the power and cooling infrastructure they require.
