Tamil Nadu has signed a landmark MoU with Sarvam AI to establish India’s first full-stack Sovereign Artificial Intelligence Park, with a proposed investment of ₹10,000 crore. The project marks a major push towards building a secure, state-led AI ecosystem aligned with India’s digital sovereignty goals.
The Sovereign AI Park will be developed as a purpose-built district integrating high-performance AI compute infrastructure, secure data frameworks, advanced research labs and innovation clusters. It is expected to generate over 1,000 high-skilled deep-tech jobs and support large-scale AI deployment across sectors such as governance, healthcare, education, agriculture and citizen services.
A key feature of the initiative is the creation of an Institute for AI in Governance, ensuring that data, models and computing resources remain within trusted state boundaries. Inspired by the historic Sangam academies, the park will also function as a “Digital Sangam”, focusing on Tamil-first foundational AI models.
Senior officials from the State government, IIT Madras and Sarvam AI were present at the signing.
