(PTI)
Software giant Microsoft on Tuesday said it would invest $17.5 billion in India between 2026 and 2029 to advance India’s Cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, skilling, and ongoing operations.
This will be in addition to the $3 billion the company announced in January this year for India, the company said.
This investment will also be used to build secure, sovereign-ready hyperscale infrastructure that can enable Al adoption in the country, the company said in a blog post.
“At the heart of this effort is the significant progress being made at the India South Central cloud region, based in Hyderabad, that is set to go live in mid-2026. This will be our largest hyperscale region in India, comprising three availability zones — roughly equivalent in size to two Eden Gardens stadiums combined,” Microsoft said.
