Google announced on 14 October 2025 that it will invest about $15 billion over 2026 to 2030 in its first AI hub in India, in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, with partners AdaniConneX and Airtel. The plan includes a gigawatt-scale data centre campus and a new international subsea cable gateway on India’s east coast. Google called it its largest investment in India to date.

Why it matters

Indian businesses and government users get in-country Google AI compute at gigawatt scale, and Andhra Pradesh becomes a data centre and cable landing site alongside Mumbai and Chennai.
