OneQode Signs 14 MW Chennai AI Data Center Deal, Its First Major India Deployment
  • OneQode’s Chennai deployment builds on a prior AMD collaboration and will anchor on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, with plans to incorporate AMD Helios rack-scale solutions and ROCm software, following OneQode being named an AMD Instinct Cloud Provider in August 2026.

  • As part of its Asia-Pacific expansion, OneQode announced on July 9, 2026 that AI compute capacity will be deployed in Chennai and Bangkok, with additional capacity planned through 2026 and 2027, anchored on AMD Instinct GPUs and sovereign licenses.

  • The deal includes ongoing discussions for up to 114 MW of additional capacity in India, potentially expanding the total opportunity to 128 MW.

  • India’s location is strategically valuable for OneQode, sitting between Europe/Middle East/Africa and Asia-Pacific to enable latency-sensitive inference workloads across regions via a low-latency global carrier network.

  • AdaniConneX is a 50:50 joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX aimed at building 1 GW of data center capacity across India, including Chennai’s SIPCOT campus opened in 2022 with 17 MW initial load and up to 100% renewable energy powering.

  • Expanding up to 114 MW could generate over US$6 billion in GPU-as-a-service total contract value for OneQode.

  • The Chennai site will be integrated with OneQode’s existing infrastructure, which spans more than 30 data centers on five continents and uses a high-performance compute plus carrier-grade network platform.

  • On October 28, 2026, OneQode announced a signed agreement with AdaniConneX for 14 MW of data center capacity in Siruseri SIPCOT, Chennai, marking its first major AI infrastructure deployment in India.

  • OneQode positions itself as a global AI infrastructure operator that designs, builds, owns, and operates compute and network infrastructure for frontier model providers, enterprise buyers, and AI-native companies, with sovereign AI deployment capabilities supported by licensure and compliance.

  • In Europe, OneQode and Bitzero Holdings signed a binding letter on May 5, 2026 for 110 MW at Bitzero’s Namsskogan site in Norway, described as a flagship European deployment with phased rollout and initial commissioning targeted for early 2027.

  • The Chennai campus is part of AdaniConneX’s broader infrastructure plan; CoreWeave’s India expansion via AdaniConneX was announced in early October 2026, including plans for 240 MW at Navi Mumbai’s Taloja campus with NVIDIA Vera Rubin deployments and first phase expected mid-2028.

  • The Chennai deployment aims to support large-scale AI training and inference, enterprise AI, and sovereign AI workloads, as part of a broader Asia-Pacific expansion including Thailand.
