The campus at Koregaon Park Annexe is being designed around artificial intelligence and Internet of Things systems that will monitor environmental conditions, occupancy and infrastructure and adjust building operations in real time. Bajaj Finserv describes the project as its first “sentient” corporate campus.

Fadnavis unveiled a commemorative plaque at the September 4 ceremony, which was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, Pune Mayor Manjusha Nagpure, Bajaj Finserv Chairman and Managing Director Sanjiv Bajaj and other officials.

The company said the project would consolidate its diversified financial services businesses at a common address for the first time, bringing together operations spanning lending, deposits, payments, insurance and investments. The complex is also planned to include what Bajaj Finserv says will be Pune’s tallest steel tower.

Fadnavis said Bajaj Finserv had built a significant position in the state’s fintech ecosystem by using technology to widen access to loans, insurance and other financial services. He said the new campus would strengthen Pune’s role as a financial-technology centre and described the project as a major addition to Maharashtra’s business infrastructure.

The development is intended to use AI and IoT systems across energy management, water consumption, air quality, crowd density, movement and safety. Sensors and analytics are expected to help the campus respond to changes in weather and occupancy, while predictive maintenance systems will monitor critical infrastructure. Automation and robotics are also planned for some campus operations.

Bajaj Finserv said sustainability, environmental design and employee wellbeing would be the three main design pillars. The buildings are being planned to global LEED and Indian Green Building Council standards, with renewable energy intended to power the campus.

The company has set a target of recycling 80 per cent of water used at the site, alongside rainwater harvesting and zero-waste measures. Those features form part of Bajaj Finserv’s stated goal of achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the 2031-32 financial year.

Sanjiv Bajaj said the project was intended to combine environmental responsibility with the group’s financial inclusion goals. He said the campus would use eco-efficient and biophilic design, AI-driven systems and renewable energy while placing employee health and wellbeing at the centre of the workplace plan.

Green zones are expected to include Ayurvedic gardens, Miyawaki forests and replanted native forests, with species from Maharashtra selected to support biodiversity. The design will seek to increase natural daylight and ventilation and reduce cooling requirements, according to the company.

Indoor environmental monitoring is planned at floor and cluster level, covering air quality and temperature. Employees are also expected to use an integrated Bajaj One application for services such as navigation, parking and facility bookings.

The project includes plans for a medical centre with telemedicine and emergency-response facilities as well as dedicated wellness support. Bajaj Finserv said these services would be integrated with the wider digital infrastructure of the campus.

The company also plans to incorporate art, craft and heritage traditions from across the country into the development, including lesser-known and lost art forms. Elements of Bajaj Finserv’s corporate social responsibility programmes and work produced by programme beneficiaries are expected to feature within the campus design.

Fadnavis used the ceremony to highlight the Bajaj group’s long association with Maharashtra and its role in the state’s industrial development. He also referred to the legacy of Jamnalal Bajaj, the industrialist and freedom movement figure associated with the group’s early history.

Bajaj Finserv already has several corporate and group offices in Pune. The new site is intended to serve as the company’s principal corporate office and create a single large workplace for businesses that are now spread across different locations.

The Hangzhou-based AI developer is expected to use the chips primarily for inference, the process of running trained models and generating responses, rather than for the more computing-intensive task of training frontier systems. DeepSeek continues to rely on Nvidia accelerators for training, underscoring the performance gap that still separates domestic processors from the US company’s leading hardware in some workloads.

The planned installation forms part of a roughly gigawatt-scale computing project in Ulanqab, about 350 kilometres northwest of Beijing. DeepSeek aims to bring at least part of the facility into operation by late 2027 or early 2028, although the schedule depends heavily on Huawei’s ability to manufacture and deliver enough processors.

Neither DeepSeek nor Huawei has publicly confirmed the chip order. The scale and timing therefore remain subject to change, particularly because supplies of high-end memory and other advanced components are expected to constrain production of the Ascend 950DT. Fulfilling an order of this size could take more than a year while Huawei also serves other domestic and overseas customers.

The order would be unusually large even by the standards of China’s accelerating AI build-out. Huawei has projected that its Atlas 950 SuperCluster can combine more than half a million 950DT processors, but supplying individual customers at that scale requires sufficient yields, memory and packaging capacity. DeepSeek’s proposed allocation alone would absorb a sizeable share of near-term output, potentially forcing deliveries to be staged as manufacturing volumes ramp through 2027.

Huawei has said the Ascend 950DT is designed for both the decode stage of AI inference and model training. The company’s published roadmap gives the processor 144 gigabytes of proprietary high-bandwidth memory, memory-access bandwidth of 4 terabytes per second and interconnect bandwidth of 2 terabytes per second. Huawei has scheduled the chip for availability in the fourth quarter of 2026.

DeepSeek’s decision to reserve the processors mainly for inference would reflect a broader pattern among China-based AI developers, which are increasingly adapting models to domestic hardware while retaining Nvidia systems for demanding training jobs where available. DeepSeek has already optimised models for Ascend processors, helping reduce dependence on imported chips for serving large volumes of user queries.

The planned cluster would also advance Beijing’s effort to build a more self-reliant AI computing ecosystem as US export controls restrict China’s access to Nvidia’s most advanced processors. Authorities have encouraged technology companies to adopt domestic chips, while access to some Nvidia products remains tightly controlled by both Washington’s licensing regime and Beijing’s own approvals.

DeepSeek has sought government support in securing a larger and faster allocation of Huawei processors for the project. The request highlights the pressure on domestic supply as AI laboratories, cloud providers and internet groups compete for scarce accelerators capable of supporting increasingly large models and growing inference demand.

The Ulanqab facility is designed to provide about one gigawatt of computing capacity. The proposed 160,000-chip Huawei deployment would account for only part of that total, leaving open the question of which processors DeepSeek will use for the remainder of the site.

Huawei is simultaneously expanding the scale of its own AI infrastructure products. Its Atlas 950 SuperPoD, built around Ascend 950DT chips, is designed to connect as many as 8,192 processors into a single logical system. Huawei has also outlined an Atlas 950 SuperCluster using more than 520,000 Ascend 950DT chips, illustrating the company’s push to compete at data-centre scale rather than solely at the level of individual accelerators.

For DeepSeek, the planned purchase would represent a substantial increase in dedicated domestic computing capacity as it spends heavily on infrastructure. The company has been expanding server access, chip procurement and data-centre capacity while developing successive generations of large AI models.
