The Maharashtra government on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with AM Intelligence Labs Private Limited for a proposed investment of Rs 1.14 lakh crore to establish an Integrated Green Data Centre Park and an AI Compute Hub in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

The project is expected to significantly strengthen Maharashtra’s digital infrastructure ecosystem while supporting the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies in India.

The agreement was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. According to the government, the project will be developed entirely on renewable energy, reflecting the state’s focus on combining technological growth with sustainability.

Officials said the proposed facility will have a total capacity of 500 megawatts and will deploy around 2.5 lakh high-performance AI chipsets, making it one of the largest AI computing infrastructure projects in the country. The project will be implemented in two phases. The first phase, comprising 200 MW capacity, is scheduled for completion by 2028, while the second phase of 300 MW is targeted for completion by 2030.
