The creators of Chatgpt are preparing a big step in India with an Openai, the country’s largest artificial intelligence data centers. The feature is expected to have at least 1 gigawatt capacity, making it a heavy scale project in a market where companies like Microsoft, Google and Reliance have already invested heavy in digital infrastructure.

People aware of the development told Bloomberg that the Openai project was in the initial conversation with the potential Indian partners. The location is not yet finalized, and the deadline is also not clear. However, Chief Executive Sam Altman, who is expected to visit India later this month, can share more information during his visit. The company has so far refused to officially comment.

India has become a major market for users and future opportunities, Openai. The company is setting an office in New Delhi, expanding its local team, and has already started a $ 5 monthly plan for Indian users to make Chatgpt more economical. The data center push also fits with the government of $ 1.2 billion, which aims to develop large language models and strengthen AI abilities in the country.

If created, the data center will not only help to improve AI services for Indian users, but will also reduce concerns around sensitive data transferred abroad. This will allow Openai to provide more customized services when constructing confidence with regulators and policy makers.

Globally, the San Francisco -based startups have been inserted to the Arabs to create Arabs, which is called Stargate, which is a huge network of AI data centers. In the US, Openai has tied to creating features with Softbank and Oracle that can eventually rival the world’s largest computing hub. Reports show that the company already has more than 4.5 gigawatt capacity there.

Outside the US, Openai is anchoring major projects in Norway and Abu Dhabi. The UAE plan, which includes a feature with a total size of 5 gigawatts, has shaken the debate in Washington on the risks of sending thousands of NVidia chips to the Gulf. In contrast, India does not face such sanctions. The Trump administration has recently confirmed that export control over AI chips will not be extended to India, which is a major obstacle for companies such as OpenIAI.

The company is also working together on its “Openai for Countrys” program with the US government, which attempts to create AI infrastructure and to combat China’s growing influence in accordance with democratic values. More than 30 countries have expressed interest, and India expects to be an important part of this effort.
