Yotta Data Services plans to invest an additional $6 billion to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure, The Times of India reported, as the Indian data center operator scales up Nvidia GPU capacity to meet demand from domestic and overseas customers.

The company has raised its planned deployment of Nvidia Blackwell GPUs from 20,000 to 30,000 units, Yotta Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Sunil Gupta told the newspaper.

“The demand has been so high, not only from Indian customers but also global customers, that we are extending the 20,000 GPUs to 30,000 GPUs,” Gupta said.

Yotta also plans to bring in 8,000 Nvidia B200 GPUs over the next month and is evaluating another 36,000 to 37,000 next-generation GB300 or Vera Rubin GPUs next year, according to the report.

Gupta said the 30,000 Blackwell GPU deployment would require about $3 billion. The next-generation rollout could cost another $4 billion, while the 8,000 B200 GPUs represent a separate investment of about $600 million.

The first batch of 8,000 B200 GPUs is expected to go live within a month. The initial 20,000 Blackwell GPUs are scheduled to become operational by September, while the additional 10,000 units are expected by November, TOI reported. The larger GB300 or Vera Rubin deployment is targeted for May next year.

Yotta is backed by the Hiranandani Group and operates data center campuses in Mumbai, Gujarat and near New Delhi. Nvidia describes Yotta’s Shakti Cloud as India’s first sovereign AI infrastructure platform for high-end computing used to develop and deploy large language models.
