Reliance, Brookfield, and Digital Realty JV to Invest ₹98,000 Crore for 1GW AI Data Centres in Andhra Pradesh

As per Economic Times report, Digital Connexion, a joint venture formed by Reliance Industries, Brookfield, and US-based Digital Realty, has unveiled plans to invest ₹98,000 crore in constructing state-of-the-art AI-native data centres in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This massive infrastructure initiative is aimed at supporting the digital ambitions of hyperscalers and enterprises operating in India. 

₹98,000 Crore Project Targeted for AI Data Centre Infrastructure by 2030 

Digital Connexion has officially committed to an investment of approximately $11 billion, equivalent to ₹98,000 crore, by 2030 for the development of a 1-gigawatt (GW) data centre capacity.  

The upcoming data centres will be built across 400 acres in Visakhapatnam and will be equipped to handle high-density, AI-driven workloads. 

The announcement aligns with the joint venture's strategy to establish infrastructure capable of enabling next-generation computing requirements. Through this large-scale project, Digital Connexion plans to deliver reliable and scalable solutions to meet growing demands for artificial intelligence workflows. 

MoU Signed with Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board 

In line with this plan, Digital Connexion has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board. The agreement outlines cooperation in facilitating the interface and essential clearances required to develop the data parks efficiently and sustainably. 

These AI-data centres are intended to be built with cutting-edge power solutions, robust substations, and redundancies designed to ensure consistent uptime. The facilities will be customised to accommodate the increasingly large rack densities essential for AI computing at scale. 

Currently, the JV operates a data centre campus in Chennai and is developing another in the Chandivali area of Mumbai. Both locations serve as low-latency, carrier-neutral hubs that support significant internet and enterprise traffic.
