Adani and Google Partner to Build India’s Largest Data Centre Campus in Visakhapatnam

Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), 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. This partnership focuses on next-generation data centre campus development and green energy infrastructure designed to power India’s AI-driven future.

The AEL informed the exchange about this development. AEL is the flagship company of the Adani Group.

$15 Billion Investment and Scope of India’s Largest Data Centre Campus

The development is centered around the Google AI hub in Visakhapatnam, which represents a multi-faceted investment of approximately $15 billion over five years (2026-2030).

The investment encompasses several critical components intended to drive demanding AI workloads in India:

1. Gigawatt-scale data centre operations.
2. Support is provided by a robust subsea cable network.
3. Utilisation of clean energy.

The foundational pillars of the Google AI hub, developed in collaboration with AdaniConneX, include purpose-built AI data centre infrastructure in Visakhapatnam. This infrastructure is expected to add significant compute capacity that will help pioneer a generational shift in India’s AI capabilities.

The project will be executed in close collaboration with ecosystem partners, including AdaniConneX and Airtel.

Commitment to Sustainability and Grid Resilience

The project underscores both companies' commitment to sustainability. The partnership involves co-investment in new infrastructure within Andhra Pradesh, specifically focusing on:

• New transmission lines.
• Clean energy generation.
• Innovative energy storage systems.

This infrastructure is designed not only to support the data centre’s operations but also to enhance the resilience and capacity of India's electricity grid. AdaniConneX, a 50:50 Joint Venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, aims to build an environmentally and socially conscious 1GW data center infrastructure platform.

The development of this AI hub and connectivity gateway is anticipated to create a powerful engine for economic growth in Visakhapatnam, the state of Andhra Pradesh, and subsequently the entire nation. This growth will be driven by digital inclusivity and the creation of tens of thousands of jobs in technology, construction, and clean energy.
