The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N Chandrababu Naidu, recently laid the foundation for a monumental project, the Google AI data centre near Visakhapatnam.
Valued at $15 billion, this centre will fortify India's digital infrastructure.
On April 28, 2026, a significant move was made towards enhancing India's digital prowess as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated the foundation of a $15 billion Google Artificial Intelligence data centre near Visakhapatnam.
The facility has a remarkable 1 GW capacity, positioning it as one of the most substantial AI data centres in the nation. It promises advanced AI cloud infrastructure along with expansive data storage capabilities.
Located across 600 acres in the areas of Tarluvada, Adavivaram, and Rambilli villages, this ambitious project will involve other private partners aiming to build a larger multi-gigawatt digital ecosystem.
The initiative highlights the Andhra Pradesh government's long-term vision to establish a multi-gigawatt digital ecosystem, strengthening its position as a major data hub with an intended capacity of 6.5 gigawatts.
This development signifies a major step forward for India's technological landscape.
With Google at its helm, the data centre is expected to facilitate substantial advances in digital capabilities, thereby encouraging other tech giants to explore similar infrastructural opportunities within the region.
The project not only sets a precedent in terms of scale and investment but also underscores the increasing importance of data-driven strategies in bolstering economic growth.
