G42 and India have formalized commercial terms to deploy Condor Galaxy India, an 8-exaflop AI supercomputing cluster that will strengthen India’s sovereign AI infrastructure and deepen the technology partnership between Abu Dhabi and New Delhi.
The exchange was witnessed by H.H. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, during Modi’s official state visit to Abu Dhabi. The agreement was exchanged between H.E. Mansoor Al Mansoori, CEO of G42 International, and Vikram Misri, Foreign Secretary of India.
The planned cluster, comprising 64 Cerebras CS-3 systems, is expected to become one of India’s largest AI compute clusters, giving the country a major new asset as governments race to secure domestically governed AI infrastructure.
Under the framework, the Abu Dhabi-based technology group will work with India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, known as C-DAC, to install, deploy, operate and maintain the system.
Al Mansoori said India is “one of the world’s great innovation economies,” adding that deploying G42’s Intelligence Grid at this scale shows “what AI-native transformation looks like in practice.”
AI capacity expands into health, energy and geospatial work
The supercomputer is expected to support joint research and development between the UAE and India across health, genomics, energy and geospatial analytics, opening advanced AI capacity to institutions, researchers and emerging innovators in both countries.
The deployment also pushes G42’s partnership with Cerebras deeper into Asia. The companies already operate Condor Galaxy supercomputing capacity in the United States, while the India system will extend that network into one of the world’s fastest-growing technology markets.
Cerebras’ CS-3 systems are built on wafer-scale engine technology, a design aimed at handling large AI workloads. The company recently listed on Nasdaq under the ticker CBRS, in a deal that underscored investor appetite for AI infrastructure.
For Abu Dhabi and New Delhi, Condor Galaxy India is more than a supercomputer deal. It strengthens a growing technology corridor between the two countries and places sovereign AI capacity at the center of their strategic partnership.
G42 expands its global AI footprint
The India agreement comes as G42 continues to scale its AI infrastructure push across major markets.
In 2025, the company joined OpenAI, Oracle, NVIDIA, SoftBank and Cisco to launch Stargate UAE, a planned 1-gigawatt AI compute cluster in Abu Dhabi, with an initial 200MW phase expected in 2026.
G42 also expanded its Microsoft partnership through a 200MW UAE data center capacity plan, part of Microsoft’s broader multibillion-dollar investment in the country.
In 2026, the group signed a framework with a Vietnamese consortium to build national AI and cloud infrastructure, extending its sovereign AI model into Southeast Asia.
Together, the moves show G42 positioning itself as a global builder of trusted AI compute, from the Gulf to Asia.
