Adani and Google to Build India's Largest AI Data Centre in Vizag, Backed by Clean Energy

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, has positioned clean energy and artificial intelligence as the two most transformative forces of the 21st century, declaring that India is on track to become the world's most sustainable intelligence hub. Writing on X, Adani said, "Our nation stands at the intersection of clean energy and artificial intelligence, the twin forces that will define this century. The Adani–Google partnership at Vizag can help shape an India-led, energy-efficient AI future. Our goal is clear: make India the world's most sustainable intelligence hub."

The statement follows a landmark announcement made last month, when Adani revealed a strategic partnership with Google to develop India's largest AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The project will be delivered through AdaniConneX, a joint venture company under Adani Enterprises, and represents a significant step in India's ambition to lead the global AI infrastructure race.

Describing it as "a monumental day for India," Adani explained that the facility has been purpose-built to handle the intensive demands of AI computing.

It will host both Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based infrastructure, designed to support deep learning, neural network training, and large-scale AI model inference at scale.

Beyond raw computing power, Adani emphasised that the project is intended to cultivate a broader innovation ecosystem. The campus is expected to accelerate AI-driven breakthroughs across high-impact sectors including healthcare, agriculture, logistics, and finance. "We are honoured to be building the engine to power India's AI revolution, providing the tools for our nation's brightest minds to solve complex challenges," he said.

Google's investment in the Visakhapatnam AI hub is estimated at approximately 15 billion dollars, to be deployed over a five-year period from 2026 to 2030. The initiative encompasses gigawatt-scale data centre operations, a subsea cable network, and dedicated clean energy infrastructure all engineered to support advanced AI workloads. The convergence of renewable energy and cutting-edge digital infrastructure at this scale signals a new chapter in India's digital transformation journey, with implications that stretch well beyond national borders.
