This investment will support HyperVault’s GW-scale AI-ready infrastructure build and aligns with TCS’ plan to create AI-ready data centers with capacity in excess of a GW over the next few years. This partnership marks a significant milestone in TCS’ ambition to become the largest AI-led technology services company.
TCS’ HyperVault will be funded through a mix of equity from TCS and TPG, and debt. Both partners combined, will commit to invest up to Rs 18,000 crore over the next few years. Out of the total commitment of up to Rs 18,000 crore, TPG will invest up to Rs 8,820 crore and is envisaged to have final shareholding between 27.5% and 49% in HyperVault. Bringing in TPG as a strategic investment partner will help TCS drive stronger returns to its shareholders, reduce its capital outlay, and create long-term value for the data center platform.
TPG’s investment in HyperVault is being facilitated through TPG Rise Climate and its Global South Initiative, a private equity strategy launched in partnership with ALTÉRRA. Additionally, TPG is also partnering through its Asia Real Estate business, marking an important milestone for the platform in India.
