According to reports, Raiden has formally asked for authorization to allow its designated partners, in addition to Raiden itself, to access all incentives that were previously pledged by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's administration for the advancement of the Data Centre Project.

The GO emphasized that this project will adhere to the rigorous standards that underpin the operation of renowned Google services such as Search, YouTube, and Workspace.

The capacity of a data center is generally quantified based on the amount of power it utilizes. The projected 1 GW (1000 MW electricity consumption when fully operational) data center in Visakhapatnam is forecasted to consume approximately half of Mumbai's annual consumption.

The Visakhapatnam campus will commence operations with a power capacity of 1 gigawatt, establishing itself as one of the largest artificial intelligence data center ventures in Asia. Tech giants are making global investments, with Google spending $85 billion this year solely on increasing its data center capacity.

India is now being recognized as a significant location for these investments. The partnership between Adani and Google reflects a strengthened belief in India's role as a foundational component of the global AI economy.
