Google to invest $10 Bn in Visakhapatnam data centre cluster
Medial

Google is planning a massive push in India by investing $10 billion to build a new data centre cluster in and around Visakhapatnam. The project will include three campuses in nearby villages such as Adavivaram, Tarluvada, and Rambilli, and will have a total power capacity of 1 gigawatt. Key infrastructure steps include laying three submarine cables, building cable landing stations, and deploying high-capacity fiber and telecom networks. Google aims to make these centres fully operational by July 2028. The deal is expected to be formalized when top Google executives meet with Andhra Pradesh’s IT and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh in New Delhi on October 14. This will likely be the largest-ever direct investment by Google in India’s digital infrastructure. Earlier, Google had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Andhra Pradesh government in December 2024, soon after a change in state leadership. The state government is also pushing to amend laws and issues related to data to make it easier for such large digital projects to proceed. Visakhapatnam’s data centre cluster will be part of India’s first AI Infrastructure Hub, a zone meant to concentrate cutting-edge digital infrastructure. The aim is to boost advanced research, AI capabilities, and related technology growth in Andhra Pradesh and across India. At present, Google operates data centres in 11 other countries but has no cluster of this scale yet in India.
