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. Partnership includes next-generation data centre campus development and
green energy infrastructure to power India’s AI-driven future
Google’s AI hub in Visakhapatnam is a multi-faceted investment of approximately 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. 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 Mr Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani
Group, “This is more than just an investment in infrastructure. It is an investment in the
soul of a rising nation. 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.”
“To unlock India’s massive potential in the AI age, 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,” added Mr 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.”
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.
