- Google is investing $ 15 billion in India’s largest AI hub outside the US
- The center is working with Adani and Airtel plus a new underwater gateway
- Global AI Data Center Race is intensified with major projects in UAE, Argentina and Saudi -Arabia
The explosion in generative AI use worldwide now means that companies are investing in new data centers to keep up with the extreme boom in the need for infrastructure. The latest of these is Google’s $ 15 billion investment to build a data center campus in southern India.
This investment will be rolled out over a five -year project and is set to be one of the largest investments ever in the country. “It’s the biggest AI hub we want to invest in all over the world outside the United States,” said Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian.
There has been increasing concern about the environmental impact of data centers as well as the rising energy costs for those who live in their vicinity. Appropriately, the State commented on IT minister Nara Lokesh; “In an era where data is the new oil, such initiatives will act as a strategic advantage.”

The 1 Gigawatt data center is planned for the city of Visakhapatnam, and it is set to be the largest in capacity and investment size in Asia. This agreement was preceded by ‘a year of intense discussions and relentless efforts’, and “is just the beginning,” Lokesh said in a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
This new project is a partnership between Google and Adani Group and India’s Airtel – and the project includes a new international Subsea Gateway.
The race on AI data centers is on, as a number builds either or recently announced plans to build AI data centers and accompanying infrastructure. Pakinomist recently announced that the first 200 megawatts of a scheduled 5-gigawatt artificial intelligence campus in the United Arab Emirates should come online next year with reference to an official from Abu Dhabi-supported Sky and AI company G42.
This follows Microsoft’s announcement that it will build ‘World’s most powerful data center’ in the latest billion dollar AI consumption plagues – driven by hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs associated with enough fiber to pack around the world four times.
However, Amazon has not been left out, with its capital costs for data centers that recently surpass $ 100 billion as the company appears to increase its 32% cloud market share.
