Indian data center stocks rallied on May 29 after Nvidia Q1 results beat expectations, sending a clear signal: the AI chip race is far from cooling down.
Anant Raj climbed nearly 3% to ₹531.65, E2E Networks surged to ₹2,868.30, and Black Box rose 3.3% to ₹489. Netweb Technologies also edged up by 1.4% to ₹2,024. The driver? A global rush for Nvidia’s AI chips before new US export curbs to China took effect.
Why does this matter to you?
Because your data is learning to think faster — literally. From social media to healthcare apps, everything powered by AI depends on the computing horsepower behind the scenes. And Nvidia, the world’s top semiconductor firm by market cap, is the engine room of that machine. When it flexes, the whole tech world feels it.
On the surface, this looks like a trader’s delight. But look deeper, and you’ll see a tectonic shift: India wants in on the AI gold rush.

India’s AI infrastructure is no longer in warm-up mode
In April, E2E Cloud rolled out India’s largest deployment of NVIDIA H200 GPUs in Delhi-NCR and Chennai.
These aren’t just fancy chips — they’re high-performance beasts designed to train advanced AI models like DeepSeek. With 288.8 TB of GPU RAM and memory bandwidth of 4.8 TB/s, E2E’s clusters can handle massive workloads with speed and precision.
The timing couldn’t be better. As the US clamps down on exports to China, Nvidia’s loss becomes India’s opportunity. According to Reuters, Nvidia could miss out on $8 billion in Chinese sales this quarter alone.
Meanwhile, it’s making fresh moves in the Middle East, from a 10-square-mile AI data hub in the UAE to new projects in Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.

So, what’s the rub-off for Indian investors?
AI isn’t just a Silicon Valley buzzword anymore — it’s a booming global infrastructure play. Indian firms with ties to Nvidia tech or data center scaling plans are riding the ripple. For retail investors, this signals a new hotspot in tech: infrastructure built for the next wave of machine learning, not just apps and platforms.
Also, let’s be honest: when a company expects $45 billion in Q2 revenue, and Wall Street still claps during a chip war, you know something’s up. Nvidia may be partially locked out of China, but it’s building a fortress elsewhere. And India’s data players are hoping to get inside.
The irony? AI may be the future, but right now, it’s old-school demand-and-supply economics driving the game. Chips are hot. India’s got power, space, and ambition. The market is paying attention.
