CoreWeave Commits to India Entry With a Planned 240 MW AI Campus
The AdaniConneX collaboration gives CoreWeave exclusive tenancy across three buildings in Navi Mumbai. Initial capacity is expected in mid-2028, not immediately.

The AdaniConneX collaboration gives CoreWeave exclusive tenancy across three buildings in Navi Mumbai. Initial capacity is expected in mid-2028, not immediately.
Listen to this story
The planned campus gives CoreWeave a dedicated India footprint, combining reserved data-center capacity with an office and local hiring to serve customers and partners in the country. The 240 MW buildout will arrive in phases, with the first phase targeted for mid-2028; the timing means the announcement does not represent capacity available to customers today. A further 240 MW at Taloja is possible, but remains an option rather than a commitment.
The deployment comprises three 80 MW buildings at AdaniConneX’s Taloja campus, with CoreWeave as the sole tenant in all three.
CoreWeave plans to use Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform for training, inference, reasoning workloads and AI agents; those services are not yet operating at the India site.
The campus is designed for high-density computing, with direct liquid cooling in GPU halls and a non-evaporative chilled-water system.
CoreWeave is entering India through an AdaniConneX collaboration, with plans for 240 megawatts of AI data center capacity in Navi Mumbai. Announced October 6, 2026, the deployment would give CoreWeave three dedicated buildings at the Taloja campus. The first phase is expected in mid-2028, separating the market-entry announcement from the arrival of usable computing capacity.
The planned deployment consists of three 80 MW buildings, with CoreWeave as the sole tenant throughout. Additional capacity will come online in phases after the initial opening. The mid-2028 target therefore applies to the first phase, rather than to delivery of the entire 240 MW deployment at once.
AdaniConneX is a 50:50 joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX. The collaboration places CoreWeave’s planned AI cloud deployment at its partner’s Taloja campus, while reserving all three buildings for one cloud provider. CoreWeave also has the opportunity to add capacity beyond this initial deployment; that expansion is an option, not part of the announced first-phase opening.
CoreWeave plans to deploy Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform at the site. It identifies several intended uses: training AI models, running trained models to produce responses, reasoning workloads and AI agents. These are the workloads the planned infrastructure is meant to support, rather than services already operating at the India campus.
The Taloja facilities are being designed for high-density AI infrastructure. Their specified cooling systems include direct liquid cooling for the halls housing graphics processing units, or GPUs, and a non-evaporative chilled-water system. CoreWeave says the design will also support future generations of AI computing as the technology evolves.
The India entry also includes plans to establish an office and hire locally. CoreWeave says that presence will help it work with customers and partners across India’s AI ecosystem. The announcement pairs the physical campus with an on-the-ground organization, rather than describing the expansion solely as a remote supply of computing capacity.
CoreWeave attributes the expansion to growing customer demand and its strategy of bringing its AI cloud closer to customers. Chief Operating Officer Sachin Jain pointed to India’s talent, developers and ambition as reasons for investing in infrastructure, technology and a local presence. That is the company’s case for the project: serving customers building and scaling AI in India.
