"Google on Tuesday announced that it will invest $15 billion to build a giant data center and artificial intelligence base in India. "This investment of approximately $15 billion (USD) over five years (2026-2030) is Google's largest investment in India to date," the Google statement said. "It is the largest AI hub that we are investing in anywhere outside of the US," Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said at a ceremony in New Delhi. "It is a part of a global network of AI centers in 12 different countries.""
"The data center and AI hub will be built in the port city of Vishakhapatman in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh over the next five years. The data center campus will have a capacity of 1-Gigawatt initially, but will be scaled to "multiple gigawatts," Kurian said at the event, referring to the electricity demand required by data centers powering AI."
"Google chief Sundar Pichai said on X that he had spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the "landmark development." "This hub combines gigawatt-scale compute capacity, a new international subsea gateway, and large-scale energy infrastructure," he wrote. "Through it we will bring our industry-leading technology to enterprises and users in India, accelerating AI innovation and driving growth across the country.""
Google will invest approximately $15 billion over five years (2026–2030) to build a major data center and AI hub in Vishakhapatman, Andhra Pradesh. The campus will start with 1-gigawatt capacity and will be expanded to multiple gigawatts to satisfy the electricity demands of AI compute. The hub will join a global network of AI centers across 12 countries and will feature gigawatt-scale compute, a new international subsea gateway, and large-scale energy infrastructure. The project aims to deliver Google technology to Indian enterprises and users, accelerate AI innovation, and support economic growth amid rising internet adoption.
