Launch of Google AI data hub in Vizag

28 APRIL 2026

Andhra Pradesh is set for a technological leap as Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu laid the foundation stone for Google’s massive $15 billion (₹1.35 lakh crore) AI data centre hub at Tarluvada, near Visakhapatnam.
The groundbreaking ceremony marks the commencement of one of India’s largest single foreign direct investment projects.
The project, managed by Google’s subsidiary Raiden Infotech in partnership with Adani Infra, will span 601.4 acres across three strategic locations—Rambilli in Anakapalli district, and Adavivaram and Tarluvada in Visakhapatnam district.
With a massive planned capacity of 1 gigawatt, the hub is designed to anchor Google’s first major AI-driven data centre campus in India.
The infrastructure will feature high-capacity submarine cable landing stations and dedicated fiber networks, providing low-latency connectivity to global markets.
Beyond the core facility, which is slated for completion by July 2028, the project is expected to generate thousands of high-value jobs in data science, cybersecurity, and AI operations.
It is anticipated to trigger a ripple effect in allied sectors, including renewable energy systems and advanced manufacturing, reinforcing the State’s vision of building a 6.5 GW digital ecosystem.
