Synopsis: Andhra Pradesh plans to develop a total of 6GW data center capacity in the state to position itself as a major digital infrastructure hub. Several top global and Indian companies have already committed significant investments to support the state’s ambitious plan.
Andhra Pradesh is accelerating its transformation into a global artificial intelligence and Data Infrastructure hub. With recent announcements from Google, Reliance, SIFY, and Anant Raj, the state has secured commitments totaling approximately 2.5 GW of data center capacity and is well on its way toward achieving its 6GW target by 2030.
1. Google’s $15 billion AI Hub Asia’s Largest Hyperscale Investment
Google has announced a landmark investment of $15 billion in the next five years to establish India’s first and largest investment outside the US. The Project centers on a 1 gigawatt(1GW) hyperscale data center cluster, making it Asia’s largest data center facility in terms of both capacity and investment. This facility will be developed across three major campuses located in Adavivaram, Tarluvada(Visakhapatnam district), and Rambilli (Anakapalli District). This project can create around 188,000 jobs, including 5,000-6,000 direct jobs..
Strategic Partnerships
- AdaniConneX: A 50:50 joint venture between Adani Enterprises and Edge Connex, responsible for developing the purpose built AI data center infrastructure and co-investing.
- Bharti Airtel: Partnering to develop the subsea cable infrastructure, Cable Landing Station, and fiber optic networks across the region.
2. Reliance Industries: 1 GW AI Data Center with Twin Jamnagar Integration
After Google, Reliance also shows an interest to set up 1 GW AI data centre in Andhra Pradesh, creating one of Asia’s most powerful AI infrastructure networks when combined with its existing gigawatt scale facility in Jamnagar. The fully modular, future ready facility is designed to host the world’s most advanced GPU’s ( graphics processing units), TPU’s(tensor processing units), and AI processors. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding(MoU) with Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu.
Supporting Green Energy Infrastructure
To ensure sustainable and clean energy for the AI infrastructure, Reliance will simultaneously develop a 6GWp solar power project in Andhra Pradesh. This solar capacity will more than double the state’s current ground mounted solar installations and contribute over 30% of its renewable energy generation. The company highlighted its mission to democratize access to AI, delivering pro level AI tools through the MyJio platform to students, farmers, entrepreneurs and families across India.
3. SIFY Technologies: 50MW AI Edge Data Center Plus Planned 500 MW Expansion
SIFY Infinite Spaces, a subsidiary of NASDAQ listed SIFY Technologies, broke ground on October 12, 2025, for a 50 MW AI Edge Data Center and Open Cable Landing Station in Visakhapatnam’s Rushikonda Madhurawada IT Park. This Phase 1 investment of approximately ₹1500 crore($170 million) is being constructed on 3.6 acres of land.
Expansion Vision
SIFY has already a plan of building a new data center that will have 500 MW capacity and will be set on 25 acres of land in the Paradesipalem district of Visakhapatnam. This is a move that the company sees as an opportunity to grow sustainably in a long term way. At the moment, the company is operating over 12 data centers located in different parts across the Indian subcontinent which includes cities like Chennai, Lucknow, Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kolkata with a total of around 200 MW in the respective cities.

4. Anant Raj Cloud invested ₹4500 crore Two Phase Data Center & IT Park Development
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Anant Raj Limited, Anant Raj Cloud Private Limited (APCPL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) on 14th, November 2025. The company pledged ₹4,500 crore for the establishment of state-of-the-art data center facilities and an IT park in the state, which would take place in two phases. It is estimated that this investment will create around 8,500 direct job vacancies and 7,500 indirect jobs, thus doubly enhancing the state’s digital ecosystem.
Other Major Investors: Adani Group & Renew Power
- Adani Group announced ₹1 lakh crore (₹100,000 crore) in total investment across ports, data centers, cement, and renewable energy over the next decade. The conglomerate is partnering with Google to develop Vizag Tech Park, described as the foundation of India’s digital sovereignty, with combined investment, envisioned at USD 15 billion aligned with the Google project.
- ReNew power committed ₹82,000 crore in green energy investments, plans to invest in a diversified portfolio of renewable energy, solar manufacturing, battery storage, pumped hydro, and green ammonia in the state. The project would be able to generate around 2.8 GW, which is made up of 1.8 GWp solar and 1 GW wind along with a battery energy storage system (BESS) of 2 GWh. This large-scale solar power plant will be one of the largest renewable power setups on Indian territory at a single site. Currently, ReNew has a wind capacity of 717 MW and a 60 MW solar capacity stretching over 10 locations in Andhra Pradesh.
Conclusion
The Andhra Pradesh data center project marks an important turning point for India regarding digital infrastructures’ establishment. The coming together of $15 billion from Google, numerous gigawatt-scale local pledges (Reliance, SIFY, Anant Raj), and strategic support from government policies, all these factors make Andhra Pradesh a very likely candidate for a global AI computing hub.
The state will be nearing its 6 GW goal in 2030 and Visakhapatnam will be able to compete with the already existing international data centers in terms of size while creating a huge economic impact, jobs, and technical growth for India’s whole digital economy.
