L&T Vyoma AI data centre MoU signed
L&T and Vyoma signed an agreement for a Dholera AI data centre, confirmed at the GREEN tier via newsonair.gov.in on 20 February 2026. The commitment is Rs 25,000 crore for a 250 MW green, AI-ready hyperscale campus with an operational target of around 2028. This page treats those figures as announced commitments, not built capacity.

What was signed and when
An agreement for an L&T Vyoma AI data centre at Dholera was signed and reported at the GREEN tier, sourced to newsonair.gov.in and dated 20 February 2026. The deal was signed at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. It sets out a commitment of Rs 25,000 crore to build a 250 MW green, AI-ready hyperscale data centre campus in Dholera, with an operational target of around 2028. The GREEN tier reflects that the announcement traces to an official government news source rather than only secondary press, which gives the existence of the agreement solid footing in the Atlas record. What the agreement establishes is intent and scale, a signed commitment to build a large, power-hungry computing campus designed for artificial intelligence workloads. It fits the wider positioning of Dholera as a site for energy-intensive industry sited next to its own power generation. The date, 20 February 2026, and the summit context are consistent in the coverage the Atlas has logged. The essential point for readers is that this is a signed intention backed by named figures, at the earliest stage of a multi-year build.
Reading the figures as commitments, not capacity
The Rs 25,000 crore and the 250 MW are the headline numbers, and the Atlas treats both as MoU or announced figures rather than as capacity that already exists. A 250 MW figure describes the intended power draw and scale of the planned campus, not megawatts of data centre load currently running. Likewise the Rs 25,000 crore is committed or planned investment, not capital already deployed on site. The operational target of around 2028 is a target, which for a project of this size means the campus is expected to take several years to design, build, power, and bring online. None of this diminishes the significance of the commitment, but it does set the correct expectation. At the point of signing there is an agreement and a set of intended parameters, not a functioning hyperscale facility. Data centre projects of this scale routinely evolve in phases and can shift in timing, so the 2028 date should be held loosely. The honest characterisation is a large, credibly announced plan with named figures, entering a long build horizon.
Why it matters, soberly
A committed hyperscale AI campus is a meaningful signal for Dholera because it aligns with two things the region is actually building, land at scale and its own green power. The plan pairs naturally with the Dholera solar park, which supplies renewable electricity, an important fit given that AI data centres are among the most electricity-hungry facilities in modern industry. Being able to point a large computing campus at nearby green generation is part of what makes the location plausible. The commitment also broadens Dholera's industrial story beyond semiconductors, adding a data and computing dimension to the semiconductor and solar narratives already in the record. Soberly stated, the significance is that a major player has committed, at a government summit, to a large green data centre in Dholera. That is an announcement of intent at scale. It is not yet operating capacity, and it does not by itself change what is physically running in the region today. The value of the commitment grows only as land, power, and construction come together over the years to 2028, and the Atlas will treat any part of it as delivered capacity only when a primary source confirms the campus, or a phase of it, is actually online.
What it does not yet mean
The agreement does not mean a 250 MW AI data centre exists or is operating in Dholera. Nothing about a February 2026 signing implies built infrastructure. The Rs 25,000 crore should be read as committed investment and the 250 MW as intended campus scale, both announced figures rather than measures of anything constructed. The operational target of around 2028 is a target and may move, as large data centre builds often do. Readers should avoid quoting the megawatt or rupee figures as though they described live capacity or spent capital. The correct summary is that L&T and Vyoma signed a GREEN-tier agreement on 20 February 2026 at the India AI Impact Summit to build a large green, AI-ready hyperscale campus in Dholera, targeting operations around 2028 and pairing with the region's solar power, with all headline numbers standing as commitments at the start of a long build. Until construction, power connection, and commissioning are confirmed by a primary source, the Rs 25,000 crore and the 250 MW should always be described as announced or MoU figures, never as capacity that Dholera can currently supply to AI workloads.
