Adani Group has started to work on building India's first integrated data centre and technology business park at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy laid the foundation stone for the Adani Data Centre in Madhurawada, Vizag, on Wednesday in the presence of Adani Group managing director Rajesh Adani and Adani Ports & SEZ CEO Karan Adani.
AdaniConneX, a 50:50 joint venture between Adani Group and EdgeConneX, will host within the park an integrated 200+ MW data centre facility. The park will be powered with up to 100 percent renewable energy and connected with robust terrestrial and submarine infrastructure to help with the deployment of cloud and emerging technologies in the region. It will be the first of the three technology zones planned in Vizag and one of the largest hyperscale data centre parks in India.

The investments will be on top of the Rs 20,000 crore already invested in the state, spanning multiple sectors, including ports, logistics, and renewable energy. The group operates two of the state's largest private ports, Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram, and is also developing 15,000 MW of renewable power projects and 10 million metric tonnes per year of cement manufacturing capacity in Andhra Pradesh.
Supported by the team from EdgeConneX and their more than a decade of experience in building a global platform of data centres for some of the world's largest and most demanding technology and cloud firms, AdaniConneX is rapidly executing on its plan to deliver 1 GW of hyperlocal to hyperscale data centre capacity throughout India.
The proposed data centre facility will be part of AdaniConneX’s strategic investment roadmap and will serve as a model investment for other locations, as it builds India's largest integrated data centre platform.
