AdaniConneX

Google is building a $15bn data-centre hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, in partnership with AdaniConneX, as part of a wave of hyperscale commitments to India that totalled tens of billions of dollars in the fortnight to 28 June 2026. India's combination of active state solicitation, production-linked incentives, and available land makes it the primary overflow destination for hyperscale capacity that cannot find a timely grid connection in the United States.

AdaniConneX is a joint venture between the Adani Group, India's largest infrastructure conglomerate, and EdgeConneX, a US-based hyperscale data-centre developer. Adani contributes domestic land, power procurement relationships, and regulatory access across Indian states; EdgeConneX brings hyperscale design, cooling systems, and operational expertise. The partnership targets Tier 1 and Tier 2 Indian cities, with Visakhapatnam the flagship campus under the Google agreement.

The Visakhapatnam campus gives Google a hyperscale anchor in Andhra Pradesh alongside its longer-established presence in Mumbai and Hyderabad. For AdaniConneX, the Google partnership validates its positioning as India's primary vehicle for international hyperscaler investment, competing with NTT, CtrlS, and AirTrunk for the capacity flowing out of constrained Western markets. India carries caveats: parts of the country face water stress and grid reliability is uneven by state, factors that favour coastal Andhra Pradesh sites over inland locations.
