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.
- If cleared, the cluster would mark Google’s largest direct investment in India to date and serve as a pillar of the proposed international AI Infrastructure Hub.
