Google will break ground on a $15 billion AI data centre in Visakhapatnam on April 28, targeting 5 GW capacity, exceeding India’s total 2025 data centre load. The project positions Vizag as a global AI infrastructure hub with subsea and renewable-energy integration.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu will officiate the foundation ceremony for Google’s 600-acre AI data centre campus across Rambilli, Adavivaram, and Tarluvada. According to official disclosures, the facility, initially set at 1 GW aims to reach 5 GW by 2028, surpassing India’s aggregate data centre capacity as of late 2025.
The hub will include a subsea cable landing station and gigawatt-scale compute for global Google Cloud and AI operations. Partners AdaniConnex will supply renewable-linked power, transmission, and storage, while Bharti Airtel will build high-capacity fibre and low-latency connectivity. The project is scheduled for completion by July 2028.
This development signals a strategic shift: India becomes a critical node in global AI infrastructure, reducing reliance on Southeast Asian hubs.
For cloud and AI enterprises, the expansion lowers latency and supports high-bandwidth workloads domestically. Energy and telecom providers gain multi-year contracts for green power and fibre networks, while local job creation and an AI ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh could attract ancillary startups. Policymakers may accelerate similar FDI approvals, though grid readiness and renewable scale remain execution risks.
