OneQode has signed an agreement with AdaniConneX for 14 MW of data centre capacity in Siruseri Sipcot, Chennai, India. The announcement, made on 28 October 2026, gives OneQode its first major AI infrastructure deployment in India. The capacity will support work in AI training and inference, enterprise AI and sovereign AI workloads.
AdaniConneX is described by OneQode as one of India’s fastest growing data centre providers. The Chennai site will form part of the company’s wider expansion across Asia and the Pacific. That expansion also includes a deployment in Thailand, the company said. The deal places Chennai at the centre of the company’s first step into large scale AI infrastructure in India.
The agreement covers the initial 14 MW only. Talks are continuing on more capacity in India, and the company has said those talks could reach up to 114 MW. If that extra capacity goes ahead, it could generate over US$6 billion in GPUaaS total contract value revenue. That figure is tied to the possible expansion, and it is not revenue from the signed 14 MW deal alone.
Johnny Blackfield, Chief Growth Officer and President, EMEA and India at OneQode, said India is becoming one of the most important markets for AI infrastructure in the world. He said working with AdaniConneX gives the company a strong foundation to build at scale in Chennai. He also said the company has secured its initial 14 MW deployment and is continuing talks on capacity of up to 114 MW in India as demand grows.
Blackfield pointed to infrastructure, competitive operating costs and room to scale as reasons India is a compelling market for its customers. Those three points were set out in the company’s announcement. The announcement did not name individual customers for the Chennai capacity, and it did not give a date for the start of operations at the site.
What OneQode will run in Chennai
Large scale AI training covers the work needed to build and refine AI models on large sets of data. Inference covers the work of running a trained model to produce answers, predictions or other outputs. Enterprise AI covers AI systems used by companies for their own operations, products and services. Sovereign AI covers AI work carried out under national rules and controls, often for public bodies or regulated users.
The Chennai deployment will support all four types of work named in the announcement: large scale AI training and inference, enterprise AI and sovereign AI workloads. The announcement does not break down how much of the 14 MW will go to each type of work. It also does not say which hardware will be used at the site, or how the capacity will be split between customers.
Data centre capacity is measured in megawatts because AI computing uses large amounts of power. A 14 MW deployment is a defined block of power and cooling capacity for servers and related equipment. The size matters to customers because AI training runs can need sustained power over long periods, while inference work can need steady capacity to respond to users at speed.
For OneQode, the Chennai deal is a first step in India rather than a finished national network. OneQode said it is expanding its AI infrastructure footprint in India as customer demand grows. The announcement links that growth to talks with AdaniConneX on more capacity.
OneQode and the path to 114 MW
The path to 114 MW remains a subject of discussion, not a signed commitment. OneQode said the two companies are continuing discussions on additional capacity opportunities in India. The figure of up to 114 MW is the upper end of those talks, as described by the company. The over US$6 billion GPUaaS total contract value figure is also tied to that possible expansion.
GPUaaS stands for GPU as a service, a model in which customers rent access to graphics processing units rather than buying and running the hardware themselves. Total contract value is a measure of the total value of contracts over their full term, as stated by the company. Readers should note that the figure is a company stated potential tied to future capacity, not a confirmed order book for the signed deal.
Siruseri Sipcot is the named location for the 14 MW capacity. The announcement does not give the address of the facility, the number of buildings involved, or the number of jobs linked to the deployment.
For now, the confirmed facts are clear. OneQode has a signed 14 MW agreement in Chennai. It is the company’s first major AI infrastructure deployment in India. Talks on up to 114 MW more are under way. The company has put a revenue figure on that possible expansion. The next step to watch is whether those talks produce a further signed agreement.
