Earlier this month, RackBank launched a ₹1000 crore AI DataCenter Park in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Spanning 13.5 acres and designed to accommodate over 100,000 GPUs, it stands as one of South Asia’s most powerful computing hubs. The facility’s initial phase includes an impressive 80 MW power capacity, enabling it to support large-scale AI workloads, extensive model training, generative AI tasks, complex simulations, and high-volume data analytics.
Building on this momentum, ESDS Software Solution Ltd., a prominent technology company, is intending to invest ₹600 crore in developing a cutting-edge AI-driven data center in Raipur. This project is poised to play a pivotal role in advancing Chhattisgarh’s digital transformation and strengthening the region’s technological infrastructure.
The data center is set to strengthen the state’s IT infrastructure, becoming a vital hub for AI applications, cloud services, and emerging digital technologies. It is anticipated to drive faster adoption of cutting-edge technologies across various industries, positioning Chhattisgarh as a leading center for tech innovation in India.
This initiative will enhance the state’s IT ecosystem, establishing Raipur as a key destination for startups and established technology companies alike. By offering essential infrastructure to support AI and cloud computing for businesses and government agencies, the data center represents a significant milestone in advancing digital self-reliance in the region.
Piyush Somani highlighted that the AI-powered data center is designed to meet the increasing demand for AI and cloud services across diverse sectors including healthcare, education, and agriculture. He emphasized that the project supports the goal of building an inclusive digital ecosystem aimed at narrowing the digital divide by providing affordable access to advanced technologies in both urban and rural areas.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said: “This investment will mark a landmark moment in bringing the vision of Digital India to life in our state. We are committed to providing every possible support to ensure its successful execution.”
