Burkhan World Investment (BWI), through its subsidiary The Ghazi Group (TGG), will invest INR 15 billion (approximately USD 180 million) to establish a facility for manufacturing artificial intelligence (AI) servers in Karnataka. The plant will be located near Devanahalli, on the outskirts of Bengaluru, and is expected to strengthen the state’s advanced electronics and export ecosystem.
Karnataka’s Minister for Large and Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development M B Patil met Shafi Khan, Chief Executive Officer of The Ghazi Group, and his team at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru to discuss the project. The minister said the initiative would generate high-value manufacturing employment and enhance the state’s capacity in AI hardware and data-centre technologies.
Burkhan will also establish a Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru serving India and the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. The centre will collaborate with technology partners including Gigabyte, Sera Network, Resolute Group and Quad-Gen to develop AI-ready hardware, advance research and development (R&D) initiatives, and promote workforce training in association with academic and industry stakeholders.
Burkhan World Investment is a global investment and holding company headquartered in Abu Dhabi and Miami. Founded by Shahal M. Khan, the group focuses on strategic investments across technology, natural resources, infrastructure and innovation-led manufacturing. According to its corporate profile, Burkhan reinvests profits from its portfolio companies into sustainable ventures and emerging technologies. The company has signed memoranda of understanding worth over USD 15 billion with Saudi partners covering critical minerals, AI and semiconductor projects.
The proposed AI server facility aligns with Karnataka’s strategy to expand its semiconductor, AI hardware and advanced electronics manufacturing base, reinforcing the state’s position as a key centre for high-technology industries in India.
