Google-AP deal today | Hyderabad / Visakhapatnam, Oct 14: The Andhra Pradesh Government is set to sign a historic agreement with Google today for a 1 gigawatt hyperscale data center and AI hub in Visakhapatnam, marking a near 10 billion dollar investment in the state’s digital infrastructure.
The meeting is scheduled for 10 am at the Taj Mansingh Hotel in New Delhi, where Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh will meet Google representatives to formalize the pact.
Officials consider this one of the largest FDI commitments in India’s tech sector, with the facility positioned as Asia’s first 1 GW hyperscale data center campus.
The proposed AI hub in Visakhapatnam will integrate large-scale data center capacity with advanced AI infrastructure, and it is expected to anchor the state’s ambition to build “AI City Vizag” over the coming years.

The development is also projected to create about 1.88 lakh direct and indirect jobs for youth each year across construction, operations, and technology functions.
State authorities describe the investment as a turning point for digital infrastructure and AI-led growth, with the data center connected to Google’s global network through resilient subsea and terrestrial systems and designed with clean energy integration.
The initiative will also support pilot efforts in key sectors, including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning-based agriculture, traffic management, healthcare, and environmental sustainability, aligning with the broader goal of using AI to improve public services and economic productivity.
The agreement signing in Delhi follows recent approvals by the State Investment Promotion Board chaired by the Chief Minister, streamlining clearances and enabling plug-and-play infrastructure for rapid execution.
As the project advances, the state expects the combination of hyperscale capacity and AI applications to reinforce Visakhapatnam’s position in India’s digital economy while supporting sustained job creation and annual GSDP gains in the early operating years.
