Adani, Google partner to build India's largest Data Centre Campus in Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam, Oct 14 (UNI) Adani Enterprises, through its joint venture company AdaniConneX, and Google, today announced a landmark partnership to develop India’s largest AI data centre campus and new green energy infrastructure in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Google’s AI hub in Visakhapatnam is a multi-faceted investment of around USD 15 billion over five years (2026-2030), comprising gigawatt-scale data centre operations, supported by a robust subsea cable network and clean energy, to drive the most demanding AI workloads in India, the company said in a release here.
It will be brought to life in close collaboration with ecosystem partners including AdaniConneX and Airtel.
The foundational pillars of the Google AI hub developed in collaboration with AdaniConneX include purpose-built AI data centre infrastructure in Visakhapatnam that will add significant compute capacity to help pioneer a generational shift in India’s AI capabilities.
The project also builds on both companies' commitment to sustainability, and will see co-investment in new transmission lines, clean energy generation and innovative energy storage systems in Andhra Pradesh.
This will not only support the data centre’s operations but also enhance the resilience and capacity of India's electricity grid.
"The Adani Group is proud to partner with Google on this historic project that will define the future of India's digital landscape,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group,
“This partnership is a testament to our shared vision of nation-building and our commitment to empowering every Indian with the tools of the 21st century. Visakhapatnam is now set to become a global destination for technology, and we are thrilled to be the architects of this monumental journey," he added.
“We are investing in the Google AI hub, which will provide the critical foundation to drive growth and enable businesses, researchers, and creators to build and scale with AI,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud.
“Working with Adani, we will bring our cutting-edge resources closer to communities and customers alike, and offer them the performance, security, and scalability to innovate and thrive on a global stage," he added.
The development of this AI hub and connectivity gateway will create a powerful engine for economic growth in Visakhapatnam, the state of Andhra Pradesh, and thereafter the entire nation by driving digital inclusivity and creating tens of thousands of jobs in technology, construction and clean energy.
