In a landmark development set to define India’s digital future, Adani Enterprises has officially partnered with Google to build the nation’s largest Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.

The project is the core of Google’s plan to invest a massive $15 billion (approximately ₹1.25 lakh Crore) over the next five years (2026-2030) to establish its first AI Hub in India—the company’s largest such investment outside the United States.

The mega-campus will be developed through the Adani Group’s joint venture, AdaniConneX, and will be a collaboration involving Bharti Airtel to power a new era of AI-driven growth.

• Gigawatt-Scale Compute Capacity: The Visakhapatnam facility will offer large-scale computing power, specifically designed to handle the massive demands of AI workloads such as deep learning, neural network training, and large-scale AI model inference.
• New Global Gateway: The investment includes establishing a new international subsea cable landing station in Visakhapatnam, which will connect India directly to Google’s global network and enhance the resilience of the nation’s digital backbone.
• Green Energy Commitment: The partners will co-invest in new transmission lines, clean energy generation (solar/wind), and energy storage systems across Andhra Pradesh, aligning the project with major sustainability goals.
• Strategic Collaboration: While AdaniConneX will co-develop the core data centre infrastructure and energy systems, Airtel will build a purpose-built data centre, the Cable Landing Station (CLS), and high-capacity intra- and inter-city fibre network for low-latency connectivity across India.

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, called the partnership a “monumental day for India,” stating the facility is “engineered specifically for the demands of artificial intelligence” and is an “investment in the soul of a rising nation.”

Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, confirmed the scale of the commitment, noting that the AI hub will provide the “essential digital backbone required to power inclusive AI growth across India.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu hailed the agreement as a crucial step towards realizing the “Viksit Bharat 2047” vision, projecting Visakhapatnam as a global destination for technology and a cornerstone of the nation’s AI future.
