OpenAI is planning a data center in India with at least 1 GW of capacity, Bloomberg reports. The company is searching for local partners, but details about the location and timeline are still unclear. OpenAI has already registered in India and aims to open a New Delhi office in 2025. The project could be part of the Stargate initiative, backed by SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI. In Norway, a Stargate center has been officially announced with an initial 230 MW, targeting 520 MW after expansion. Other Stargate projects include a planned 1 GW cluster in the United Arab Emirates, with the first 200 MW phase coming in 2026, and up to 4.5 GW of extra capacity in the US through Oracle.
