Project Surya — a 100 MW hyperscale platform for Greater Chennai.
A greenfield, AI-ready data-centre development built in ten 10 MW phases on 25 contiguous acres, designed to international Tier-IV standards.
A purpose-built platform for hyperscale and AI workloads.
Project Surya is being taken to ready-to-build (RTB) and then delivered with an operating partner. It is positioned to anchor long-term capital investment, skilled employment, and digital-economy growth in Tamil Nadu, while reinforcing Chennai's position as a leading AI-infrastructure hub in India.
The platform is designed for high renewable utilisation and on-site battery energy storage, with a PUE 1.3 target calibrated to Chennai's climate.
Engineered for hyperscale density.

Subsea-cable proximity
Over ~10 years
A rare combination of connectivity, power and policy.
- Connectivity gateway
Chennai is a primary international subsea-cable landing point — including systems like NTT's MIST cable linking India, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand — giving the State direct, low-latency global reach.
- Power & renewables leadership
Tamil Nadu hosts roughly 34.7 GW of renewable capacity across wind, solar and hydro, supporting the green power that hyperscale tenants increasingly require.
- Clear policy framework
Tamil Nadu Data Centre Policy provides stamp-duty concessions, land-cost subsidies and a five-year electricity-tax waiver for qualifying projects, administered through SIPCOT.
- Demand base
300+ global capability centres, large BFSI and OTT players, and a growing AI/GPU workload base anchor sustained low-latency demand in the Chennai market.
