Overview

  • Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh on October 12 laid the foundation for Sify Infinit Spaces’ project in Visakhapatnam.
  • The plan calls for a 50 MW facility on 3.6 acres with a stated outlay of ₹1,500 crore to be executed in two phases.
  • An Open Cable Landing Station is part of the build, aimed at strengthening subsea connectivity and improving data exchange with Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Thailand.
  • Officials project employment for roughly 1,000 people across construction and operations, while a separate claim of five lakh jobs appears in one report and conflicts with other disclosures.
