OneQode Signs 14 MW AI Capacity Agreement with AdaniConneX in Chennai, with Path to 114 MW

By: IDCNOVARegion: South Asia
OneQode, a global provider of performance digital infrastructure, has signed an agreement with AdaniConneX, one of India's fastest-growing data center providers, for 14 MW of data center capacity at Siruseri Sipcot in Chennai, India. The deal marks OneQode's first major AI infrastructure deployment in the country and underscores the company's broader ambition to build out AI compute capacity across the Asia-Pacific region.

The Chennai facility will support large-scale AI training and inference, enterprise AI and sovereign AI workloads, forming part of OneQode's wider regional expansion that also includes a deployment in Thailand. The agreement carries significant strategic weight as India cements its position as one of the most important markets for AI infrastructure globally, sitting at the intersection of EMEA and Asia-Pacific and offering a combination of scalable capacity, competitive operating costs and a growing base of enterprise and sovereign AI demand.

OneQode and AdaniConneX are continuing discussions on additional capacity opportunities in India, with the potential to expand up to 114 MW. According to the company, that expanded footprint could generate more than US$6 billion in GPU-as-a-Service total contract value revenue for OneQode. "India is becoming one of the most important markets for AI infrastructure globally," said Johnny Blackfield, Chief Growth Officer and President, EMEA & India at OneQode. "Working with AdaniConneX gives us a strong foundation to build at scale in Chennai. We have secured our initial 14 MW deployment and are continuing discussions with AdaniConneX on additional capacity opportunities of up to 114 MW in India as demand grows. The combination of infrastructure, competitive operating costs and room to scale makes India a compelling market for our customers."

The deployment builds on OneQode's collaboration with AMD announced in May 2026 to deploy AMD Instinct GPUs, with the company also planning to incorporate the AMD Helios rack-scale solution as part of its wider AI infrastructure rollout. OneQode operates more than 30 data centers across five continents, combining high-performance compute with its own carrier-grade global network. The Chennai site will connect into this existing infrastructure, extending OneQode's ability to serve latency-sensitive inference workloads across strategic markets in both EMEA and Asia-Pacific. As AI inference demand grows increasingly sensitive to latency, the Chennai deployment positions OneQode to serve customers across both regions through a single, interconnected platform.
