OpenAI, Tata Group Unveil AI Infrastructure Partnership

OpenAI has partnered with the Tata Group to expand artificial intelligence capabilities in India, including the development of a large-scale data center that could eventually reach 1 gigawatt in capacity.

The announcement was made by Tata Sons chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran at the AI Impact Summit 2026, where OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is currently in attendance.

The collaboration will be executed alongside Tata Consultancy Services, the conglomerate’s technology arm.
