Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is set to officially unveil Google's $15 billion AI data center project in Visakhapatnam on April 28, 2026. The massive facility, boasting up to 1 GW of computing capacity, is expected to position India as a premier AI hub in Asia.

However, it's worth noting that Google's official press channels have not yet confirmed the full $15 billion deployment timeline or the 1 GW capacity as of publication. Despite this, the project is anticipated to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities across Andhra Pradesh.

The announcement underscores the growing importance of AI infrastructure in the region and marks a significant step forward for India's ambitions in artificial intelligence.
