Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is in advanced discussions with several global hyperscale technology companies to develop artificial intelligence data centres in India, as per Bloomberg report.
Chief Executive Officer Krithivasan said the company is currently holding talks with multiple technology players regarding potential partnerships, as per report.
The discussions follow a recent agreement between TCS and OpenAI to build AI data centres in the country.
The company is exploring additional collaborations as demand for computing capacity linked to artificial intelligence continues to grow.
According to Krithivasan, India could require nearly 10 gigawatts of AI data centre capacity by 2030. Current announcements account for only around 5-6 gigawatts, leaving a sizeable shortfall.
The company believes additional infrastructure will be required as businesses adopt AI tools across sectors such as banking, retail, and telecommunications.
Data centres play a key role in supporting the computing power needed for large-scale AI workloads.
Details of the OpenAI Collaboration
At the AI Impact Summit held in India in February, TCS announced plans to work with OpenAI on building facilities ranging from 100 megawatts to 1 gigawatt in capacity.
Industry estimates indicate that constructing a 1-gigawatt data centre could cost between $35 billion and $50 billion.
TCS expects its share of investment in such projects to be around $1 billion, with private equity firm TPG Inc. expected to commit a similar amount. The remaining capital is likely to be raised through debt.
The company plans to combine data centre infrastructure with technology services linked to artificial intelligence. This may include areas such as model training, AI applications and automation tools used by corporate clients.
TCS has also been demonstrating AI-based concepts at its London innovation hub. One example involves a digital model of a human heart created using athlete data to simulate responses to different training programmes.
TCS currently employs about 600,000 people worldwide. The company hired roughly 85,000 employees in 2025 and has already issued around 20,000 job offers for 2026.
The firm indicated that future recruitment could involve a wider mix of skills, including roles combining technology knowledge with business and creative skills.
As of March 6, 2026, 9:45 am, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) share price was trading at ₹2,607.50, a 1.11% increase from the previous closing price.

India’s expected growth in artificial intelligence adoption is likely to increase demand for large-scale data centre infrastructure. Several projects have already been announced, though capacity requirements may expand further by the end of the decade. TCS is holding discussions with technology partners as part of this broader development.
