The investment figure is stated consistently as ₹14,257 crore in most reports, while one outlet cites a higher figure of around ₹15,000 crore. Channel NewsAsia also reports the project value as about $1.48 billion.
The announcements are framed as part of HCLTech’s broader push into the AI market, following the company’s earlier communication about moving into the full-stack AI space. The project is described as HCLTech’s first AI data centre, with details tied to the Sovereign AI Park’s development. Across sources, the core elements—locations, partnership with Sarvam AI, Odisha government involvement, and the reported investment scale—are aligned, with variations appearing mainly in the precise rupee estimate.
