Reports: Google Poised to Invest $10 Billion in 1 GW Data Center Cluster in Visakhapatnam

A New Delhi meeting on Oct. 14 could finalize the proposal, pending state board clearance, with Google yet to confirm.

Overview

  • Economic Times–sourced reports say Google would build three campuses totaling 1 GW across Adavivaram, Tarluvada and Rambilli near Visakhapatnam.
  • The facilities are targeted to begin operations by July 2028, according to NDTV and India Today summaries of the ET report.
  • The buildout reportedly requires three high-capacity submarine cables, dedicated landing stations, metro fibre networks and upgraded telecommunications infrastructure.
  • The Andhra Pradesh State Investment Promotion Board is expected to take up the proposal today, with a separate Oct. 14 New Delhi meeting between Google executives and IT minister Nara Lokesh to formalize terms.
