Tech giant Google on Tuesday announced a $15-billion investment over 2026–2030 to set up India’s first artificial intelligence (AI) hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, in partnership with Adani Group and Bharti Airtel.

The project, being developed with AdaniConneX and Airtel, will feature a 1-gigawatt (1GW) data centre campus, new large-scale energy sources, and an expanded fibre-optic and subsea network. This will position Visakhapatnam as an AI and connectivity hub that not only serves India but also the global markets.

It will be Google’s largest AI hub outside the US, built with the same infrastructure that powers Search, YouTube and Workspace.
