Digital Connexion to Invest $11 Billion in Andhra Pradesh for AI Data Centres

Digital Connexion will invest about $11 billion by 2030 to build 1 gigawatt of AI-native data centres in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, as per the company’s release. The company signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh economic development board to develop the project across 400 acres.

The planned facilities will be designed to handle high-performance computing and AI workloads. According to the company, the centres will feature “future-ready systems,” strong power infrastructure, and high-density racks to support the next wave of digital growth.

Digital Connexion said the expansion aligns with India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision and aims to strengthen the country’s digital foundation. The company emphasised that the upcoming sites will use renewable energy, efficient building designs, and advanced cooling to reduce environmental impact.

The firm currently operates a campus in Chennai and is building another in Mumbai’s Chandivali area, both located to offer low-latency and carrier-neutral connectivity.

The release stated that for Digital Connexion Andhra Pradesh investment marks a significant step toward becoming “India’s trusted digital infrastructure provider” as demand for AI-ready data capacity accelerates.

Previously this year, the government of Andhra Pradesh has signed an MoU with US-based Tillman Global Holdings to develop a ₹15,000-crore, 300 MW hyperscale data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, positioning the state as a key digital infrastructure hub in India and the Indo-Pacific region.

The agreement, executed through the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB), outlines a facilitation framework for time-bound development of the project codenamed TDGAP1 over the next 12 months. 

Additionally, Andhra Pradesh will also host India’s first indigenously built eight-qubit quantum computer this November in Amaravati. The installation, developed by Bengaluru-based quantum startup QpiAI, is supported by the National Quantum Mission (NQM).
