Google announced on October 14, 2025, that it will invest $15 billion over five years to build an artificial intelligence and data center hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh—its largest commitment in India to date. The plan includes gigawatt-scale compute capacity and a new international subsea gateway to bolster global connectivity, positioning the site as a core node in Google’s network and supporting AI services worldwide.
The company framed the project as accelerating India’s digital transformation, with executives highlighting deep, long-term infrastructure spending rather than speculative bets. Alongside compute build-out, Google says the hub will anchor regional ecosystem growth, while Indian officials have touted the move as strategic for tech capacity and supply-chain resilience. Initial descriptions note a 1-gigawatt facility and integration with broader AI infrastructure, signaling one of the most ambitious single-site cloud investments in the region.
