Hyderabad to Get Rs 70,000 Crore AI Data Centre Campus

HyperVault, the data centre arm of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), plans an AI data centre campus of up to 1 gigawatt on 264 acres in Telangana's Future City near Hyderabad, with investment of up to Rs 70,000 crore. The Telangana government and TCS announced it on September 5.

Key facts

  • Investment: up to Rs 70,000 crore, from HyperVault and its partners

  • Capacity: up to 1 GW (1,000 MW)

  • Land: 264 acres secured

  • Funding: HyperVault had already raised Rs 18,000 crore from private equity firm TPG for its data centre plans

  • Jobs: about 7,000 direct and indirect jobs, according to early reports. Telangana's IT minister separately said it could be 7,000 direct jobs and nearly 15,000 indirect

  • Timeline: the state has asked the company to work towards completion by June 2, 2028

  • Competition: Telangana says it beat five other states for the project

The real estate angle

Data centres have become one of the biggest draws for property capital in India. CBRE reported a record $9.5 billion of equity inflows into real estate, data centres and hospitality in Q3 2026, with data centres taking about 57%. Large campuses like this also need land, power and construction, and they can lift demand for nearby industrial and residential property.

 

What to keep in mind

The announcement is a memorandum of understanding and a plan, with phased development. Power supply, approvals and construction schedules will decide how fast it moves.
