Davos, Jan 20 (IANS) AM Green Group, an energy transition platform backed by the founders of the Greenko Group, on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with InvestUP, the investment promotion arm of the Uttar Pradesh Government, to set up a massive 1 gigawatt data centre focused on global artificial intelligence workloads.
The project will be rolled out in phases, with the first capacity expected to become operational in 2028, while the full 1 GW capacity is targeted to be completed by 2030.
The total investment for the project is estimated at around $25 billion, according to the official statement.

The company said the project reflects its commitment to building a sustainable and carbon-neutral digital economy and also supports Uttar Pradesh’s ambition to emerge as India’s leading data centre hub.

The data centre will be designed to handle the growing demand for high-performance computing and AI workloads from global hyperscalers, frontier AI labs, large enterprises and India’s sovereign AI initiatives.
The facility will host nearly 500,000 advanced high-performance chipsets and will operate using carbon-free energy to ensure sustainable operations.
AM Green said its AI labs are working on building a full-stack AI ecosystem, covering energy, infrastructure, hardware installation, customised models and applications.
“These solutions will cater to multiple sectors such as energy, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, media, gaming and sovereign cloud services,” AM Green Group mentioned.
