Hoskote Green AI Hypercampus: 500MW Bengaluru Data Hub
Status: Planned / Pre-construction Phase (Announced July 2026) | Location: Kiadb Industrial Area, Hoskote Tech Corridor, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Project Overview
A premier multi-facility digital infrastructure campus purpose-built to support the next generation of artificial intelligence and hyperscale cloud computing, this development is engineered to accommodate dense GPU clusters, AI training workloads, large language models (LLMs), and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. Designed with scalability, resilience, and energy efficiency at its core, the campus features advanced power distribution systems, high-capacity fiber connectivity, and future-ready infrastructure capable of supporting rapidly growing enterprise and hyperscale demand. Strategically located in South India, the facility strengthens the region's position as an emerging digital infrastructure hub while providing critical compute capacity for global cloud providers, neocloud operators, and AI-driven enterprises. A defining feature of the campus is its sustainability-focused design, which protects local water resources through advanced partnerships with municipal wastewater treatment facilities, enabling the reuse of treated water for cooling operations and significantly reducing dependence on freshwater supplies. The development also integrates energy-efficient cooling technologies, resilient utility infrastructure, and environmentally responsible operational practices to support long-term sustainable growth. Beyond expanding regional data center capacity, the project is expected to accelerate digital transformation, attract technology investments, create skilled employment opportunities, and reinforce South India's role as a strategic destination for AI infrastructure, cloud services, and next-generation digital innovation.
