Google is set to formally begin work on its massive data centre hub in Andhra Pradesh on April 28, marking a major milestone just six months after signing a memorandum of understanding with the state government. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place in the presence of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian.
The project, valued at $15 billion, is poised to become the largest single foreign direct investment in India. It will feature three large-scale data centre campuses near Visakhapatnam, located at Adavivaram, Tarluvada, and Rambilli.
The Andhra Pradesh government has already allocated over 600 acres of land across these sites. The project is being executed by Raiden Infotech India, a Google subsidiary, in partnership with Adani Infra Limited. Dedicated special purpose vehicles have been formed to manage each location.
With a combined capacity of 1 gigawatt, the data centres are expected to be operational by July 2028. The infrastructure will include submarine cable landings, high-capacity telecom networks, and advanced fibre connectivity.
Once completed, the Visakhapatnam cluster is expected to be the largest in Asia, strengthening India’s position in global digital infrastructure.
