High-Performance Capabilities
Spanning 13.5 acres, the facility will be capable of housing up to one lakh graphics processing units (GPUs). An additional 2.70 hectares have been earmarked within the Chhattisgarh Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to deliver high-performance, cost-efficient services.
The AI data centre park will be constructed in four phases, starting with an initial capacity of 80 megawatts (MW) in phase one, scalable to 160 MW by the final phase. The facility will deploy RackBank's proprietary direct-to-chip liquid cooling and its Varuna liquid immersion system, which the company claims will reduce cooling costs by up to 70 percent while significantly improving energy efficiency.
Sustainability and Clean Energy at Core
RackBank stated that the new centre will support flexible rack densities ranging from 80 kW to 200 kW per rack and will align with Nvidia's future roadmap for GPUs and chip architecture. The facility will be powered by clean energy and designed for minimal water usage, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.
