Adani Group Announces Rs 1 Trillion Investment Plan for Andhra Pradesh with Google-Led AI Hub in Visakhapatnam

Adani Group has announced a major expansion plan in Andhra Pradesh, outlining an investment commitment of nearly Rs 1 trillion over the next ten years. The investment aims to strengthen the group’s presence across ports, cement, energy and digital infrastructure while positioning Andhra Pradesh as a leading technology and industrial destination in India.

Speaking at the 30th CII Partnership Summit held in Visakhapatnam, Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & SEZ, highlighted the group’s growing confidence in the state’s policy framework and long-term vision. He noted that the group has already invested close to Rs 40,000 crore in key sectors such as logistics, renewable energy and infrastructure, and is now preparing for its next phase of growth in the region.

A significant highlight of the announcement is the group’s collaboration with Google to build an advanced artificial intelligence hub in Visakhapatnam. This upcoming facility will host India’s largest data centre and serve as Google’s most significant AI operation outside the United States. The combined investment, estimated at $15 billion, is expected to accelerate digital transformation, create high-value jobs and support emerging industries across the state.

Karan Adani praised Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for his transformative leadership, calling him a visionary who has consistently driven technology-led development in India. He also appreciated the efforts of state IT Minister Nara Lokesh for prioritising skilling, innovation and digital infrastructure to position Andhra Pradesh as a fast-growing technology hub.

Adani stated that the Vizag Tech Park, a joint initiative with Google, will become one of the world’s largest and most sustainable technology centres. He added that the group is committed to becoming the state’s largest investor and a long-term partner in shaping Andhra Pradesh’s economic future.

With over 100 global delegates attending the summit, Andhra Pradesh is targeting investments worth Rs 10 trillion across green energy, IT, electronics, automobiles, defence and tourism, reinforcing its ambition to build a modern, future-ready economy.
