Telangana Chief Minister Calls for Prompt Launch of TCS HyperVault’s AI Data Centre

On Saturday, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy stood before a modest gathering and, with a hint of pride, asked TCS’s HyperVault to time‑stamp its Hyderabad AI data centre inauguration for June 2, 2028 – the day the state celebrates its formation.

He didn’t just pick a date for symbolism; he counted the months. “From groundbreaking to inauguration we have 21 months. Let’s aim for June 2, 2028,” he said, urging the company to align its timeline with the state’s calendar.

HyperVault, a Tata Consultancy Services subsidiary, had just announced that it secured a sprawling 264‑acre plot on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The plan? A purpose‑built campus capable of housing up to 1 gigawatt of AI‑focused compute power, cooled by advanced liquid‑cooling systems, and aimed at serving both frontier AI startups and global hyperscalers.

The financial numbers are staggering. The venture could pull in as much as ₹70,000 crore (roughly $840 billion) and promises to generate around 7,000 direct jobs. Reddy, visibly excited, called the project a “dream come true” for the Bharat Future City initiative that the state is rolling out.

He went a step further, hinting that the investment could even swell to ₹1 lakh crore if the right support structures are in place. “We will give you all the sanctions you need,” the chief minister assured, emphasizing the government’s willingness to smooth any bureaucratic bumps.

Reddy also tied the AI hub to his broader economic vision: a trillion‑dollar GDP for Telangana by 2034, soaring to three trillion by 2047. “We want to contribute 10 percent of India’s GDP, not just five,” he declared, looking for the backing of Fortune‑500 giants like TCS.

He did acknowledge the chatter around AI displacing engineers, but warned that blue‑collar jobs would remain safe. To back up his confidence, the state recently launched the Young India Skills University, aimed at reskilling the workforce for the AI age.

In closing, the CM made it clear that Telangana isn’t trying to out‑compete its neighbours Karnataka, Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh. “Our role models are China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Singapore,” he said. “We want to be on their league, not just the next door.”

All eyes now turn to HyperVault to see if it can meet the June 2028 deadline, turning a massive financial pledge into a tangible AI engine that could reshape the region’s tech landscape.
