NEW DELHI, Oct. 14, 2025 – Today, Google announced an artificial intelligence (AI) hub in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh, enabling Google to deploy its full AI stack with the aim of helping accelerate AI-driven transformation across India. The new AI hub will combine powerful AI infrastructure, data center capacity, new large-scale energy sources and an expanded fiber-optic network, all in one place.
This investment of approximately $15 billion (USD) over five years (2026-2030) is Google’s largest investment in India to date, and is aligned to the Indian Government’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision to accelerate the expansion of AI-driven services. According to an analysis conducted by Access Partnership and commissioned by Google, the AI hub is expected to generate at least $15 billion (USD) over five years (2026-2030) in American gross domestic product (GDP) because of new economic activity from increased cloud and AI adoption, as well as the American talent and resources involved in developing and operating the AI hub. This initiative creates substantial economic and societal opportunities for both India and the United States — while pioneering a generational shift in AI capability. The announcement was made at Bharat AI Shakti, an event hosted by Google in New Delhi, and a pre-event to the India-AI Impact Summit 2026.
The Google AI hub in Visakhapatnam will include a purpose-built data center campus, adding gigawatt-scale compute capacity to help meet demand for digital services across India and around the world. Developed with leading partners, AdaniConneX and Airtel, it will be built with the same cutting-edge infrastructure that powers Google products like Search, Workspace, and YouTube.
The AI hub will also deliver the high-performance and low-latency services that businesses and organizations need to build and scale their own AI-powered solutions, accelerate research and development, and ultimately help India secure its place as a global leader in the AI-driven future.
When operational, the new data center campus will join Google’s network of existing AI data centers that spans 12 countries. It will benefit from technology developed by Google’s R&D centers in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, including the design and development of crucial software and hardware innovations.
