AMD and TCS Partner to Launch Helios AI Data Center in India, Targeting 200MW Capacity
February 16, 2026
Context includes a quick valuation assessment and guidance to review the full AMD analysis for a deeper risk/reward view.
AMD and Tata Consultancy Services are expanding their collaboration to deploy the Helios rack-scale AI architecture in India, a 200MW data-center deployment aimed at accelerating AI adoption across industries with both training and inference capabilities.
The Helios platform will run on AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, next-generation AMD EPYC Venince CPUs, AMD Pensando Vulcano NICs, and the ROCm software ecosystem to create a sovereign AI factory-ready rack-scale solution.
Analysts say AI hardware expectations are high but tempered, with questions about AMD’s ability to match Nvidia in performance, software ecosystem, and supply reliability.
AMD’s next public event is on March 3 at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, where further updates may be shared.
The initiative positions AMD to benefit from India’s prioritized AI push, while noting near-term momentum concerns such as recent share-price declines and the potential undervaluation relative to analyst targets.
Industry context shows AI deployment moving from pilots to large-scale projects, but data-center rollouts face permit, power, and construction timelines.
Industry trend notes AMD capturing a growing share of AI deployments (roughly 20–25%), contrasting Nvidia’s 2025 dominance in AI chips.
Benefits cited include improved performance efficiency and faster deployment for enterprise AI projects.
HyperVault AI Data Center Limited, a TCS subsidiary, will help deliver secure, reliable AI-ready infrastructure for hyperscalers, AI companies, and global enterprises under this initiative.
Key considerations include tracking Helios adoption and the pace toward 200MW capacity, and watching insider selling as a potential risk to AMD’s data center revenue outlook.
Market context notes AMD stock activity and AI-chip sector moves, with price data and trends for peers like Micron, Broadcom, NVIDIA, and other AI chip stocks.
