The Patna facility, inaugurated in the presence of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, currently offers an IT load of 12 MW, which can be expanded based on future demand, the company said in a statement.
“The company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Government of Bihar to invest Rs 10,000 crore to set up a 150 MW hyperscale AI factory in Bodh Gaya, in addition to inaugurating its data centre in Patna,” it said.

The company plans to set up more than 20 edge data centres in tier-2 and tier-3 cities across India over the coming years, to bring computing and connectivity closer to customers amid rising demand for localised, low-latency digital infrastructure. PTI ANK MR
