Google has announced its first AI hub in India, selecting Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh, for a five-year investment of approximately $15 billion (USD) from 2026-2030. The initiative aims to accelerate AI-driven transformation across India while advancing U.S.-India technology cooperation. Gigawatt-scale data center campus: Purpose-built to deliver high-performance, low-latency AI infrastructure, developed with partners AdaniConneX and Airtel. The hub will use the same backbone that powers Search, Workspace, and YouTube. Subsea gateway on India’s east coast: Multiple international subsea cables will land in Visakhapatnam, adding route diversity beyond Mumbai and Chennai, expanding resilience and cutting latency for users across India and globally. Clean energy and grid upgrades: New transmission lines, energy storage, and clean generation projects in Andhra Pradesh to support the hub and strengthen the national grid. R&D integration: The hub will leverage innovations from Google’s centers in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune, and join Google’s global network of AI data centers across 12 countries. https://www.googlecloudpresscorner.com/2025-10-14-Google-Announces-First-AI-Hub-in-India,-Bringing-Companys-Full-AI-Stack-and-Consumer-Services-to-Country #AI #Infrastructure
