Adani To Build India’s First Integrated Data Centre & Tech Park In AP

Adani is to build India’s first Integrated data centre and technology business park in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, according to the media release on Thursday. 

The park will host a 300 MW of data centre capacity, powered with up to 100 per cent renewable energy, house a skill development centre and will connect Vizag to other technology hubs and IT ecosystems in the APAC region.

The park will be connected with robust terrestrial and submarine infrastructure to help the deployment of cloud and emerging technologies in the region. The integrated facility will be one of the largest hyper-scale data centres in India. 

According to the statement, “The investments will be on top and Rs 20,000 crore already invested in the state, which created more than 18,000 direct and 54,000 indirect jobs. The Adani Group’s investments in Andhra Pradesh span multiple sectors, including ports, logistics, and renewable energy. The Group operates two of the state’s largest private ports at Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram. It is also committed to developing 15,000 MW of renewable power projects and 10 million tonnes per annum of cement manufacturing capacity in the state.”

At the groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group said, “Our world is being defined by our ability to generate, store, access and move data. With the advancements in AI, high-definition content and massive digitisation, the need for computing and storage is increasing exponentially.”

“Andhra Pradesh, with its geographical advantages of land for renewable energy and a long coastline, is well positioned to host data centre parks not only for our country but also for those nations that are short of land or energy,” Adani added.

“The establishment of 300 MW data centres by the Adani Group will facilitate the laying of a submarine cable from Singapore and help change the future dynamics of broadband services,” said Mr Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, Chief Minister, Andhra Pradesh. “The technology park will propel Vizag into a tier-1 city which will also deploy renewable sources of energy to power it up.”

AdaniConneX, a 50:50 joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, was founded with a vision to redefine the data centre landscape in India.
