Adani Group to develop Data Centre Park in Vizag.

The Adani group, an infrastructure conglomerate, will build a Data Centre Park with a 5 GW capacity in and around Visakhapatnam over the next 20 years.

The group has signed an agreement with the Andhra Pradesh government to develop the project, completely backed by renewable energy.

The move also marks Adani Group’s foray into the digital infrastructure space.

“The facility will position the State as a data centre hub for the country and South-East Asia,” Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu said after inking the agreement in Amaravati on Wednesday. “The Adani group will support the development of the digital and energy infrastructure in the State by investing over Rs. 70,000 crore over a period of 20 years. This could create over one lakh direct and indirect jobs,” he said.

The group will develop three different campuses, each offering redundancy and reliability to data centre operators.
