The Andhra Pradesh government has cleared land allocation for a major tech infrastructure project, granting 480 acres across Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli districts to Adani Infra (India) Pvt Ltd. The land will be used to develop a 1 GW artificial intelligence data centre, led by Google subsidiary Raiden Infotech India, according to reports.
The project, estimated at ₹87,500 crore, is poised to become one of India’s largest data centre investments, bringing both economic momentum and strategic digital capacity to the state.
Massive Data Centre Capacity and Development Plan
Raiden Infotech India will oversee the phased development of the facility. The proposed data centre will consume 1,000 MW of power once fully operational—almost half of Mumbai’s current annual energy usage—indicating the scale of compute capacity being planned.
The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) identified three suitable land parcels, all requested for direct allocation to Adani Infra, which has been designated as the lead implementation partner.
The approval was finalized during a state cabinet meeting held on November 28, 2025.
Partnership Structure and State Support
The initiative includes a consortium of infrastructure and telecom partners, such as:
- AdaniConneX India Pvt Ltd
- Adani Power India Pvt Ltd
- Nxtra Data Ltd
- Nxtra Vizag Ltd
- Bharti Airtel Ltd
These entities are expected to provide power, connectivity, and operational support to the data centre ecosystem.
To facilitate the investment, the Andhra Pradesh government will extend ₹22,000 crore in incentives over time. The project will reportedly follow the same global compliance and operational standards used for Google’s core platforms, including YouTube, Search, and Workspace.
