Greater Noida, India - January 20, 2026 - The Government of Uttar Pradesh has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AM Green Group, an energy-transition platform backed by the founders of Indian renewable energy major Greenko Group, to develop a 1-gigawatt (GW) data center and AI compute infrastructure hub in Greater Noida, officials said.
The MoU was formalized on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, where Uttar Pradesh officials and AM Green executives signed the agreement in the presence of state and industry leaders. The project is expected to involve a total investment of about USD 25 billion (~INR 2.7 lakh crore), one of the largest private investments in India’s digital infrastructure sector to date.
Under the MoU, AM Green will establish a world-class AI and data center hub designed to support global AI workloads, high-performance computing (HPC), hyperscale cloud services, and enterprise deployments, as well as host facilities for frontier research labs and sovereign AI initiatives. Officials said the hub will be developed in phases, with the first tranche of capacity expected to be operational by 2028 and the full 1 GW capacity targeted by 2030.
The facility is planned to run on 24/7 carbon-free renewable power, drawing on AM Green’s wind, solar, and pumped storage resources to align closely with sustainability targets and India’s energy transition goals. AM Green executives said integrating renewable energy with cutting-edge compute infrastructure will help reduce carbon emissions per unit of compute at scale.
“Today’s signing marks a significant milestone for Uttar Pradesh and for India’s digital infrastructure ambitions,” said Suresh Kumar Khanna, Finance Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Khanna said the project will create thousands of high-skilled jobs, attract foreign direct investment, and strengthen the state’s role as a key destination for next-generation technology infrastructure.
Leaders of AM Green emphasized that the data center hub is being designed as a template for sustainable and scalable AI infrastructure globally. They highlighted the region’s strong energy resources and supportive policy environment as key factors in choosing Uttar Pradesh for the investment and noted that the project will help position India as a hub for compute-intensive industries.
The MoU was signed through InvestUP, the state’s investment promotion agency, which will work with AM Green and other partners to secure necessary clearances and facilitate land and power procurement. Analysts said the project could also drive supporting ecosystems in hardware manufacturing, cooling technologies, and data services across northern India.
India’s data center industry has been growing rapidly, fueled by cloud adoption, artificial intelligence demand, and data localization requirements. Projects of this scale reflect institutional confidence in India’s ability to deliver large-scale digital infrastructure and compete with established global hubs.
