Google has started construction on a $15 billion artificial intelligence hub in Visakhapatnam, India. This project represents the company’s largest AI investment outside of the United States. The facility features gigawatt-scale computing capacity to support large-scale model training and deployment.
Google is developing the ecosystem in partnership with AdaniConneX and Airtel. The hub will focus on advanced AI applications for both enterprise and consumer markets. This initiative marks a significant foreign direct investment in India’s technology sector.
The facility incorporates renewable energy and energy storage to create a sustainable data center model. This move shifts Google’s infrastructure strategy toward high-growth digital economies. The expansion reduces the company's reliance on US-based hardware amid intensifying global AI competition.
