Adani Group Plans India's First 300 MW Data Center and Tech Park in Vizag

The Adani Group has announced its plan to build India's first Integrated Data Center and Technology Business Park in Visakhapatnam. The facility is expected to boost the local technology ecosystem in the region, generate jobs for local communities, and connect the city to the Asia-Pacific IT ecosystem.

The tech park will host a 300 MW data center capacity and will be powered with up to 100% renewable energy, making it an eco-friendly facility. The park will also be connected with terrestrial and submarine infrastructure to help the deployment of cloud and emerging technologies and host a skill development center. This investment for the IT park will be an addition to the Rs 20,000 crore that the Adani Group has already invested in Andhra Pradesh.

"The establishment of 300 MW data centers by the Adani Group will facilitate the laying of a submarine cable from Singapore and help change the future dynamics of broadband services," said CM Reddy during the foundation-laying ceremony. "The technology park will propel Vizag into a tier-1 city which will also deploy renewable sources of energy to power it up."

The Adani Group operates two of the state's largest private ports at Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram, and it has already created more than 18,000 direct and 54,000 indirect jobs through its business ranging from ports, and logistics to renewable energy. The conglomerate has also committed to developing 15,000 MW of renewable power projects and 10 million tonnes per annum of cement manufacturing capacity in Andhra Pradesh.

"With the advancements in AI, high-definition content, and massive digitization, the need for compute and storage is increasing exponentially. Andhra Pradesh, with its geographical advantages of land for renewable energy and a long coastline, is well positioned to host data center parks not only for our country but also for those nations that are short of land or energy," said Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani. "What the Adani Group brings through our ports, data centers, and green energy capabilities is a uniquely powerful combination of unmatched strategic adjacencies within the data center world."
