Indian IT services firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed two non-binding Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with Siemens Energy AG to support greater collaboration across the digital infrastructure space.

The two agreements center on the application of AI and digital engineering to industrial operations, as well as on building infrastructure to support growing data center demand.

Under the terms of the agreements, TCS will continue as a preferred IT partner to Siemens Energy, working on modernizing its digital backbone with an emphasis on resilience, security, and cost efficiency. In addition, the companies will also collaborate on the development of AI-led industrial use cases, including digital twins, predictive maintenance, and enhanced integration between operational and IT systems to improve manufacturing performance.

“Partnering with TCS helps Siemens Energy AG turn digital infrastructure innovation into scalable impact. Based on their expertise across AI, cloud, and large‑scale engineering supports, we will jointly work to create value for our customers, while India remains a vital market for supporting our global growth ambitions,” said Christian Bruch, president and CEO, Siemens Energy.

The final element of the partnership will see the companies collaborate on the development of AI-ready data center infrastructure. Siemens Energy India will contribute expertise in power generation, electrification, and grid technologies to TCS’s HyperVault platform, aimed at addressing the energy requirements of high-density AI workloads in India.

“Energy and industrial enterprises are at a pivotal inflection point, where competitiveness will be shaped by how effectively they modernize core technologies and scale AI across operations,” added K. Krithivasan, MD and CEO, Tata Consultancy Services.

The deals are a continuation of a long-held partnership between the two companies, with TCS acting as Siemens' preferred technology partner.

Siemens has increasingly targeted the data center market over recent years. Notably, last June, in partnership with Eaton, the company announced the development of an on-site modular gas-powered solution for the data center sector, seeking to offer offtakers up to 500MW of modular gas capacity.
