AM Intelligence says it has placed firm orders for 20,000 more Nvidia Rubin GPUs, to be deployed in India and Malaysia from the second quarter of 2027. The expansion would bring its committed Rubin capacity to about 29,000 GPUs and nearly 100 megawatts, extending a major buildout of AI computing infrastructure in the region.

What happened
AMI, an AI infrastructure company set up by the promoters of Greenko, says the new orders are for Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems. They follow its August commitment for 9,000 Rubin GPUs at an AI factory in Hyderabad. The new capacity is planned for sites in India and Malaysia; the company says both will use high-throughput networking and liquid cooling.
The announcement describes the 20,000 GPUs as firm and binding orders, with delivery scheduled for Q2 2027. AMI also says it plans to bring another 300MW of capacity to market over the next 15 months, involving more than $20 billion in capital expenditure, in addition to $6 billion already committed. Its broader global pipeline is about 400MW. Those are company plans and figures, not completed infrastructure. The announcement was issued by AMI.
Why it matters
Large AI systems need more than chips: power, cooling, networking and suitable sites all have to arrive together. AMI’s plans show how demand for Nvidia’s newest platform is also driving sizeable infrastructure commitments beyond North America, with India and Malaysia named as deployment locations.
For AI developers and cloud providers, additional regional capacity could eventually mean more places to run demanding workloads. But the timetable matters: the new systems are scheduled for delivery in 2027, and a pipeline or investment plan is not the same thing as operational compute. There is still a considerable distance between an order and a working AI factory.
Our read
The eye-catching number is 20,000 GPUs; the more useful test will be whether the sites get the power, cooling and networking needed to put them to work on schedule. AMI’s scale of ambition is striking. For now, treat the buildout beyond the announced orders as a plan, not a finished expansion. The silicon is the headline; the less glamorous infrastructure will decide what actually comes online.
What to watch
- Whether the India and Malaysia sites meet the announced Q2 2027 delivery schedule.
- How much of AMI’s planned additional 300MW becomes operational capacity.
- Whether the company announces customers or service availability for the new sites.
Discussion spark: Should governments and cloud providers prioritise building AI compute close to local developers, even when the power and capital demands are enormous?
