Vultr launched a 20-megawatt AI computing cluster in Chennai on November 2, expanding its cloud infrastructure in India. The company’s launch programme set out a planned deployment of 10,000 AMD Instinct MI355X graphics processors at the site.
Financial Express reported that the facility is intended to support large language models and serve enterprise customers, AI laboratories, startups and research institutions. The company did not disclose the project’s investment value.
The Chennai announcement builds on Vultr’s entry into India in 2022, when it established data-centre regions in New Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Its Indian infrastructure initially used AMD EPYC processors before adding successive generations of AMD graphics processors.
At the launch briefing, Vultr’s AI and enterprise-cloud general manager Amit Rai outlined a target of 600 megawatts of AI infrastructure in India by 2028, followed by one gigawatt in 2029. Those figures describe the company’s expansion ambitions, rather than capacity already operating in the country.
