Digital Connexion has announced a transformative investment of approximately US $11 billion by 2030 to develop 1 GW of AI-native, purpose-built data centres in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, marking one of India’s largest digital infrastructure commitments. The company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board, solidifying its partnership with the state government to develop this next-generation campus across 400 acres of land.
Designed specifically for high-density AI workloads, the upcoming campus will cater to hyperscalers, cloud providers, and large enterprises, integrating advanced computing capabilities, robust power infrastructure, and intelligent cooling systems. These AI-native facilities will drive compute-intensive operations such as machine learning, generative AI, big data analytics, and high-performance computing.
“India is entering a new era of AI-led infrastructure, and Visakhapatnam will be at the heart of this transformation.”
— Mukesh Soni, Chief Financial Officer, Digital Connexion
Mukesh Soni, Chief Financial Officer, Digital Connexion, said, “This landmark investment reflects our vision to build India’s most advanced AI-ready digital infrastructure. With world-class sustainability, reliability, scalability and connectivity at the core, our Vizag campus will power the next decade of digital innovation for enterprises and hyperscalers.”
This strategic move aligns with India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision and supports Andhra Pradesh’s ambition to become a major digital and AI innovation hub. The project is expected to create large-scale employment opportunities, foster regional technology development, and help position India as a global leader in AI-driven infrastructure.
Digital Connexion already operates a data centre campus in Chennai and is expanding with another facility currently under construction in Mumbai’s Chandivali. These locations are strategically placed to ensure low-latency, carrier-neutral connectivity for mission-critical workloads.
The Visakhapatnam development is engineered for future-ready enterprise applications, sustainability, and environmental responsibility, with renewable energy integration, intelligent cooling, and energy-efficient designs. Built to address the rapidly escalating digital infrastructure needs of cloud, AI, and data-first enterprises, the new campus will enable high-performance computing at unprecedented scale.
With AI adoption accelerating across sectors, Digital Connexion’s investment promises to strengthen India’s position as a digital infrastructure powerhouse, enabling enterprises to innovate, scale, and transform with confidence.
