L&T will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the centre, which will be equipped with advanced AI capabilities to power next-generation AI applications, minimise environmental impact and maximise energy efficiency. The data centre will also be equipped with security measures to protect sensitive data.
