Indian artificial intelligence infrastructure firm Yotta Data Services said on Wednesday it will commit in excess of $2 billion to develop a dedicated AI computing hub built around Nvidia's latest Blackwell Ultra processors.
In a company statement, Yotta disclosed plans to install 20,736 liquid-cooled NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) Blackwell Ultra units in what it described as an AI "supercluster" - a concentrated assemblage of specialized processors intended to run advanced machine-learning models at scale.
Under the arrangement, Nvidia will also establish a cloud cluster within Yotta's infrastructure. That component of the collaboration is structured as a four-year arrangement valued at more than $1 billion, Yotta said. The company added that it will provide customers access to Nvidia's AI enterprise software suite via Yotta's Shakti Studio AI platform.
The supercluster is planned to go live by August and will be deployed at Yotta's data centre campus located near New Delhi. Yotta noted that its facility in Mumbai will contribute additional capacity to support the centre's operations.
Yotta was founded by the Hiranandani Group and currently operates two major data centre campuses in India. Earlier in the year, the company abandoned plans for a U.S. listing that would have occurred through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company. Yotta is now seen as pursuing a public offering in India by 2027.
Context and operational details
The investment centres on a sizeable concentrated deployment of Nvidia's newest processors, with all units specified as liquid-cooled Blackwell Ultra chips. Yotta's statement highlights both the hardware deployment and a commercial cloud arrangement with Nvidia, which will operate a cluster inside Yotta's facilities under the disclosed multi-year contract.
Yotta will integrate Nvidia's AI enterprise software into its Shakti Studio AI platform, enabling customers to access the software alongside the physical compute resources at the New Delhi supercluster and supplementary capacity in Mumbai.
Implications for markets and sectors
- Data centre and cloud infrastructure: The project increases high-performance compute capacity in India and expands Yotta's data centre capabilities.
- Semiconductors and AI hardware: Deployment of a large Blackwell Ultra cluster represents a significant commercial uptake of Nvidia's latest processors.
- Capital markets and listings: Yotta's changed listing strategy - dropping a U.S. SPAC route in early-2026 and targeting an Indian IPO in 2027 - affects its near-term capital markets trajectory.
