The investment follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board, ensuring collaboration with the state for smooth project execution. The data centres will include high-density racks, redundant power feeds, and robust substations, providing reliable operations and supporting technological growth over the next decade. The design is focused on AI-native applications, enabling seamless integration of artificial intelligence systems and future technological upgrades.
This is the company's second major project in India, following Google's recent commitment of USD 15 billion for establishing an AI hub and data centres in Visakhapatnam. Digital Connexion already operates a campus in Chennai and is constructing another facility in Mumbai's Chandivali area. Both locations are chosen for strategic, low-latency, carrier-neutral connectivity, ensuring faster data transfer and efficient operations for enterprises and hyperscalers across India.
By expanding its data centre presence, Digital Connexion reinforces India's position as a growing hub for digital infrastructure and AI technology. The new Visakhapatnam project aligns with global trends in AI and cloud computing while supporting local economic development and employment opportunities.
