TCS to invest $6-7bn in India's AI data center
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is planning a massive $6-7 billion investment to build a 1-gigawatt AI data center in India over the next five to seven years.
This marks a big shift from TCS's usual low-spending approach, as the company looks to ride India's rapidly growing demand for AI and local data storage—especially with the country's data center market expected to triple by 2030.
TCS's bold move into AI data centers
With more businesses needing AI power and India pushing for local data solutions, TCS wants to boost its AI service offerings and attract clients looking for integrated tech.
But some analysts are raising eyebrows, warning that this expensive new venture could lower TCS's strong profit margins and reduce cash available for shareholders.
Still, with $20-25 billion expected to flow into India's data centers in the next few years, TCS seems ready to bet big on what could be a major growth wave.
