Reliance Unveils ₹1.6 Lakh Cr AI Data Centre Mega Cluster for Visakhapatnam

Swapna Kumbar , Bengaluru - Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) plans to invest ₹1.6 lakh crore (over $17 billion) to establish India's largest data centre cluster a massive 1.5 GW AI focused facility in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The project, approved by the state's Investment Promotion Committee, will surpass Google's planned 1 GW data centre in the same region and include captive solar power and battery storage systems.

Spanning 935 acres near Bhogapuram's new airport, the giga scale AI data centre cluster will roll out in three phases, with the first 500 MW operational by October 2028 and full 1.5 GW capacity by 2030. RIL has also requested land for a cable landing station and desalination plant to support the hyperscale infrastructure, positioning Visakhapatnam as India's premier AI and cloud computing hub. This twin to RIL's Jamnagar AI data centre will house cutting edge GPUs, TPUs, and AI processors, catering to surging demand from enterprises, cloud providers, and generative AI workloads. The cluster aligns with Andhra Pradesh's ambition to host 6 GW of data centre capacity, already boosted by deals with Google and Sify, while RIL's integrated solar and storage ensures sustainable, round the clock power for energy intensive operations.

RIL's ₹1.6 lakh crore bet catapults Andhra Pradesh into global AI infrastructure leadership, challenging established hubs like Mumbai and Chennai while cementing Mukesh Ambani's dominance in India's digital economy. By 2030, the Visakhapatnam cluster could power a new era of sovereign cloud services, AI innovation, and hyperscale computing provided execution matches the ambition.
