The Andhra Pradesh government has allotted 480 acres of land to Adani Infra (India), which has a partnership with Google’s Raiden Infotech India, in Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli districts. The company will set up 1 GW AI data centres in the state.
“The Government, after careful examination of the proposal, and as per the approval accorded by the council of ministers in its meeting dated 28/11/2025 hereby accords permission for the transfer of 480 acres of land in Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli districts to M/s Adani Infra (India) Private Limited,” the order issued on December 2 said.
Raiden Infotech India Pvt Ltd, a Google India company, is setting up Data Centres in a phased manner. The company will invest about Rs 87,500 crore in Andhra Pradesh will get back Rs 22,000 crore as incentives from the state government over a period of time.
Land acquisition terms
Raiden has specifically requested that all three land parcels identified by Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation may be allotted to Adani Infra (India), as the primary notified partner, subject to completing survey and handing over possession.
According to the GO, Raiden has requested the government to authorise its notified partners, along with itself, to avail all incentives that the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s regime had promised for the benefit of the Data Centre Project.
This project will be built to the same exacting standards that power Google services like Search, YouTube and Workspace, the GO added.
Electricity consumption
Data centre capacity is typically measured by the power it consumes. The planned 1 GW facility in Visakhapatnam is expected to use electricity equivalent to nearly 50 per cent of Mumbai’s annual consumption.
CM Naidu recently said that though Google had earlier announced an investment of $10 billion, it had increased to $15 billion.
