Tillman Global Holdings has announced a $10 billion investment to establish one of the largest hyperscale data centre complexes in India within the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) in Gujarat. This strategic commitment — unveiled on January 26, 2026 — marks a significant milestone in the development of Dholera as a national hub for digital infrastructure, AI compute capacity, and cloud services.

The proposed project aims to create a 1 GW+ digital complex capable of supporting advanced computing workloads, large‑scale cloud operations, and AI‑driven services. By combining scalable infrastructure with robust power and network availability, Dholera is being positioned as a “Digital Power Base” for India’s growing technology ecosystem.

Key Features of the Tillman Global Data Centre Investment:
• Massive scale: $10 billion project designed to support hyperscale computing and cloud services. 
• Job creation: Expected to generate over 1,000 high‑tech jobs in construction, operations, IT, and engineering, along with indirect employment growth. 
• Strategic infrastructure: The data centre will benefit from Dholera’s expanding connectivity — including the Ahmedabad–Dholera Expressway and the upcoming Dholera International Airport — enabling efficient logistics and rapid access to national and international networks. 
• Energy security: Access to stable power from dedicated grids and proximity to renewable energy sources, such as the Dholera Solar Park, ensures operational resilience critical for hyperscale data facilities. 
• Digital ecosystem: The complex will support AI, cloud computing, big data analytics, and high‑performance computing workloads, making it attractive to technology companies, hyperscalers, and enterprise clients.

Experts say this investment underscores Dholera’s competitive advantages — including large contiguous land parcels, robust infrastructure planning, and governance efficiency — making it a compelling choice for long‑term digital infrastructure deployment.

Why It Matters:
• The project positions Dholera as a key digital and AI infrastructure hub in India, complementing its industrial and smart city growth strategy. 
• It signals global investor confidence in Gujarat’s development planning and the city’s readiness to support critical digital infrastructure at scale. 
• The data centre’s presence is expected to accelerate cloud adoption, AI workloads, and cybersecurity capabilities, benefiting enterprise and government users across sectors. 
• The project reinforces Dholera’s role as a multimodal economic hub, alongside semiconductor manufacturing, logistics, and smart city services.
