OneQode Targets Indian Artificial Intelligence Sector Through Major Chennai Infrastructure Deal
October 29, 2026
OneQode has finalized a strategic contract with AdaniConneX to establish a significant presence in India's technology sector. Announced in late October 2026, the deal secures 14 megawatts of capacity at the Siruseri Sipcot facility located in Chennai. This move represents the first major installation of artificial intelligence infrastructure for the company within the country, serving as a cornerstone for its broader expansion efforts across the Asia-Pacific region, which also includes recent developments in Thailand.
The collaboration between the two entities may grow substantially in the future. OneQode indicated that talks are currently underway to potentially secure an additional 114 megawatts of power. Should this full expansion be realized, the company estimates it could produce over $6 billion in total contract value through its GPU-as-a-service business model. Executives noted that India’s geographical position between Europe and the Asia-Pacific makes it a vital hub for minimizing latency in global AI workloads, particularly as demand for real-time inference increases.
From a technical standpoint, the Chennai operations will leverage high-performance hardware through an established partnership with AMD. The infrastructure will feature AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and the Helios rack-scale architecture, all running on the open-source ROCm software platform. These resources are designed to handle diverse tasks, including large-scale model training, enterprise applications, and sovereign AI projects that require strict compliance and localized data handling. OneQode intends to integrate this new site into its existing international network, which spans dozens of data centers across five continents.
AdaniConneX, the provider for this project, is a joint venture involving Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX. The provider is currently working toward a goal of developing 1 gigawatt of data center capacity across India, focusing on both major metropolitan hubs and smaller markets. Their Chennai campus is notable for its environmental certifications and its ability to utilize renewable energy sources. This agreement follows a busy year for OneQode, which has also secured long-term capacity in Norway to fuel its European operations and is actively pursuing further growth in sovereign telecommunications and high-density compute markets.
