CoreWeave is widening its global footprint with its first India deployment, teaming up with AdaniConneX Pvt. and securing 240 megawatts of capacity at the Taloja campus in Navi Mumbai. The agreement includes an option to expand to twice that amount. The company said Wednesday it will also set up an office in India, and it expects to invest multiple billions of dollars throughout the project's lifespan. The first data centers are targeted to come online in mid-2028.
Formed as a JV between Adani Group and EdgeConneX, AdaniConneX is also one of the providers supporting a large India deployment for Alphabet Inc.'s Google. At the Indian facilities, CoreWeave intends to deploy Nvidia Corp.'s newest Vera Rubin chips to run training and inference, enable reasoning, and power AI agents. In data centers, the capacity that matters most is how much electricity you can lock in, typically measured in megawatts or gigawatts, because power access is usually the gating factor.
AI infrastructure is being built where power and land are cheapest. Market Briefs covers that build-out free every morning.
Headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey, CoreWeave has expanded to more sites to increase capacity and reach customers in multiple areas. In August it unveiled its first Asia projects in Indonesia. Around that time, the company said it had about 4.2 gigawatts of contracted power, describing that as roughly the output of four nuclear reactors. Demand remains strong, and last month Chief Executive Officer Mike Intrator said the company is "largely sold out" of capacity.
India's buildout is accelerating. Wood Mackenzie estimated in July that the country has put in place about 2.2 gigawatts of operational data center capacity over the past 30 years and could reach 12 gigawatts by 2030. Capacity tailored for AI is projected to jump nearly 24 times to 6.5 gigawatts. If you rely on AI tools for work or your business, this kind of power planning is what ultimately keeps those systems fast, available, and potentially cheaper to use over time.
