KRAFTON announces release of BGMI Lite and provides availability timeline for India

Vyoma.AI, an L&T subsidiary, has announced a contract to build the largest artificial intelligence infrastructure in India—an Nvidia B300 factory—for the American startup Together AI. The value of this order is estimated at 10,000–15,000 crore rupees.

This factory will be located on the Vyoma data center campus in Chennai and is intended to provide an AI-focused cloud platform that will be used for large-scale training, fine-tuning, and inference tasks.

The Chennai data center possesses gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure. The first phase of the project is designed with a capacity of 250 MW, and the energy infrastructure readiness stands at 150 MVA, providing a scalable foundation for future expansion of the AI factory. The factory has a capacity of 10,000 Nvidia B300 GPUs.

The platform provided by Vyoma integrates hyper-scale data center infrastructure, accelerated computing, high-performance networks, ultra-low latency interconnects, high-throughput parallel storage, and AI infrastructure operational capabilities.

S. N. Subramanian, Chairman and Managing Director of L&T, noted that deploying the Nvidia B300 factory for Together AI is a significant step in L&T's mission to create gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure, as artificial intelligence is becoming the foundation for all industries.

Earlier this week, L&T signed an agreement to transfer its data center and cloud services business to Vyoma.AI Ltd for a sum of 1,400 crore rupees.

Together AI actively pursues such partnerships. The company also signed a multi-year contract worth $240 million with IBM to build a large-scale AI cluster on IBM Cloud using Nvidia systems. The company's platform allows enterprises to train and run AI tasks on open models such as DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Kimi at lower costs compared to closed systems.

The San Francisco-based company was valued at approximately $8.3 billion in July, and Nvidia is among its clients. Co-founder and CEO Vipul Ved Prakash stated that 'making AI globally accessible will be the biggest construction project in human history, and L&T understands this.'

The schedule for the three-match T20 series between India and Afghanistan has been announced. The BCCI published the dates and venue for this series on its social media account on X on August 12th. The series will begin in September at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, and all three matches will take place there.

This is good news for fans residing in Delhi. According to BCCI information, the matches are scheduled for September 13th, 15th, and 17th, starting at 7:00 PM. Fans are particularly drawn to the young and aggressive Indian batter Vaibha Suryavanshi, who may unleash a flurry of runs in Delhi.

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is known for its small boundaries, which sets the stage for frequent fours and sixes. Considering Vaibha's attacking style, this ground is ideal for his playing manner. Recently, Vaibha shared a video of his training on Instagram, demonstrating confident ball handling, which generated significant interest among admirers.

Before showcasing his skills against the Afghan players, Vaibha will participate in the Dalip Trophy tournament.

Fans eagerly await the confrontation between Afghanistan's star spinner Rashid Khan and Vaibha Suryavanshi. Against Rashid's magical spinning deliveries, big hitters often struggle, but Vaibha's form and fearless approach could pose a serious challenge to Rashid.

Statistically, India has always held an advantage over Afghanistan. Out of nine T20 matches played between these two teams, India has won seven, and one match was won in super over. One match was cancelled due to rain. Last time, India defeated Afghanistan by 47 runs during the 2024 T20 World Cup.
