Agnikul Cosmos to Invest ₹510 Crore in Andhra Pradesh Facility for Orbital AI Data Centres

Agnikul Cosmos, the Chennai-based space-tech startup, is planning to invest ₹510 crore in a new facility in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati district to manufacture orbital data centre units. The company has signed an agreement with the state government for the project, which will focus on integrating AI computing hardware and GPU systems with the upper stages of its rockets, potentially turning them into data centre platforms in space.

Co-founded by Srinath Ravichandran and Moin SPM, Agnikul has already secured Bengaluru-based NeevCloud as its first customer for an orbital AI data centre module. The facility marks a major expansion of the startup's ambitions beyond rocket launches into space-based computing infrastructure. With this move, Agnikul is positioning itself at the intersection of India's growing space-tech and AI ecosystems.
