The Andhra Pradesh Government will be signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Google in New Delhi on Tuesday for setting up a 1-gigawatt hyperscale data centre in Visakhapatnam with an investment of about $10 billion.

The MoU will be exchanged in the presence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Union Minister I&B Ashwini Vaishnaw and members of senior management of Google.

The upcoming campus will be one of the largest projects for Google in Asia and will see Google deploy its full AI stack to help accelerate AI-driven transformation across India. 

The new AI hub will combine powerful AI infrastructure, data centre capacity, large-scale energy sources, and an expanded fibre-optic network, all in one place and will position Visakhapatnam in particular and Andhra Pradesh in general as an emerging destination in India to drive India’s AI transformation.

“It is a transformative project for the future of Andhra Pradesh,’‘ Nara Lokesh, AP Minister for IT, said in a release.
