BENGALURU, 6 NOV

Burkhan World Group, headquartered in Miami, USA, will invest Rs 1,500 crore in the State for the production of advanced AI-powered servers, Minister for Large and Medium Industries MB Patil said on Thursday.

The company, headquartered in Miami, USA, has sought 10-15 acres of land near Devanahalli.

The investment is expected to generate significant employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector, Patil said.

Patil held detailed discussions on the proposed investment and related matters with Shafi Khan, CEO of The Ghazi Group (TGG)—a subsidiary of Burkhan World—and his team at Vidhana Soudha.

"The servers to be manufactured by Burkhan are in high demand globally, particularly for data centres, and the company also plans to export them to several countries," the minister said.

He assured the government’s full cooperation for the project and directed the principal secretary to convene a meeting to discuss matters related to subsidies and other incentives.

The Burkhan Group will collaborate with Gigabyte and Cera Network to set up facilities for the production of advanced CPUs, GPUs, and AI-ready network switches in Karnataka. 

The investment by Burkhan Group would strengthen the state’s ecosystem for semiconductors, AI hardware, and advanced electronics.

Patil said that Burkhan World will establish Bengaluru as its centre of excellence for operations serving India and the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. 

The company also plans to launch special skill development programmes across the state.
