A Reliance Industries (RIL) joint venture (JV) will invest $11 billion (about Rs 98,000 crore) over five years to develop 1-gw of AI data capacity in Andhra Pradesh, the companies and the State government have said.
Canadian multinational company Brookfield Corporation and US-based real estate investment trust Digital Realty are the other partners involved in the JV called Digital Connexion.
The project aims to establish an AI-native data centre campus across 400 acres of land in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam city.
In October, Google had disclosed that it would build AI data centre capacity in Visakhapatnam over five years, set to be the tech major’s largest-ever AI hub outside of the US.
The recent boom in AI, which requires vast amounts of computing data, has fuelled a corporate rush to pour money into the technology globally and has led to an unprecedented growth in data centres across the world.
India’s data centre capacity is expected to more than triple to 4.5 gw by 2030 from the current level of 1.5 gw, according to real estate consultant Colliers.
Earlier last month, TCS had also unveiled a partnership with private equity firm TPG to invest $2 billion in equity to form a JV aimed at developing AI data centres.
