L&T data centres target $1bn revenue by 2030

NewsL&T data centres target $1bn revenue by 2030 Shouvik Das4 min read2 Mar 2026, 11:09 AM ISTSeema Ambastha, chief executive of Larsen & Toubro Vyoma. SummaryThe engineering giant is targeting $1 billion revenue by 2030 through phased capacity growth amid India’s accelerating AI infrastructure boom. MUMBAI: As rivals race into billion-dollar artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure bets, Larsen & Toubro Ltd is taking a slower, engineering-led approach, wagering that disciplined scaling will win in a rapidly expanding market. India’s largest engineering conglomerate expects its data centre business to generate $1 billion, or approximately ₹9,200 crore, in annual revenue by 2030, by which time it aims to build 350 megawatts (MW) of operational capacity. The strategy contrasts with peers announcing gigawatt-scale investments, even as demand for AI infrastructure accelerates across the country.“We of course hope that in the next five years, we can scale our business up to $1 billion in annual revenue. That’s the goal, and given our growth targets coupled with how fast the industry is growing, I don’t think this should be improbable,” said Seema Ambastha, chief executive of Larsen & Toubro Vyoma, the company’s data centre division.

Key Highlights

  • “We’re currently building additional capacity of 30MW in Chennai, as well as a further 40MW in Mumbai.
  • By end-2027, we’ll therefore have 100MW in data centre capacity built and operational,” she added. In November, the company said it plans to spend nearly $2.5 billion over five years to set up 300MW in data centre capacity across five facilities, with potential to expand more. The data centre targets that Ambastha shared with Mint show L&T increasing capacity to 180MW by 2028, followed by 250MW by end-2029 and 350MW by 2030.
  • The push comes after L&T, on 18 February, announced a partnership with Nvidia to build gigawatt-scale data centres in the country. The phased expansion stands in contrast to the scale of investments being announced across the sector.
  • In October last year, Tata Consultancy Services announced plans to spend $6.5 billion to build a 1 gigawatt (GW) data centre by 2030.
  • Tata’s data centre division, branded as HyperVault, later received $1 billion in funding from US-based asset manager TPG in November, and on 17 February signed a partnership with the world’s largest private AI firm OpenAI for data centre usage. On 14 October, Google announced a $15-billion, 1GW data centre investment in Visakhapatnam, with domestic conglomerate Adani Group as partner.
