Google began construction on April 28 of a $15 billion AI data center and infrastructure hub in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh, framed by Indian officials as the country's largest single foreign direct investment since independence. The 600-acre campus is being built with AdaniConnex and Nxtra by Airtel as primary partners, will initially deliver near-gigawatt compute capacity, and targets 5 GW eventually—more than three times India's entire data-center capacity at end of 2025. Three international subsea cable landings on India's eastern coast are planned to strengthen connectivity to Australia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa; the project is expected to be completed by 2028 and create approximately 200,000 direct and indirect jobs.
