Overview

  • Google signed an MoU in New Delhi to launch its first India AI hub, described by the company as its largest site outside the United States.
  • The initial campus will deliver 1 gigawatt of hyperscale capacity with a roadmap to scale to multiple gigawatts over time.
  • AdaniConneX and Bharti Airtel will partner on the data-centre build and a cable landing station that creates a new international subsea gateway in Visakhapatnam.
  • The program commits to renewable projects, new transmission lines and energy storage to power the campus in Andhra Pradesh.
  • Google will offer its full AI stack locally, including TPUs and access to models such as Gemini, while state officials earlier estimated the first-phase spend at about $10 billion within the $15 billion plan.
