Massive Investment in Tech Infrastructure
Google has announced one of its largest-ever investments in India, pledging $15 billion over five years to set up a 1-gigawatt data center and a major AI hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This investment surpasses earlier estimates and highlights the state’s strategic importance in global tech expansion.
Creating Jobs and Driving Innovation
The project is expected to generate significant employment opportunities and attract tech talent. It will also strengthen Andhra Pradesh’s digital ecosystem, supporting startups, AI development, and cloud infrastructure growth.
Strategic Advantage for Andhra Pradesh
As IT Minister Nara Lokesh remarked, “In an era where data is the new oil, such initiatives will serve as a strategic advantage.” This investment positions the state competitively against global tech hubs, promoting long-term economic and technological growth.
