Major Investment in Digital Infrastructure
The proposed data centre will operate with a planned capacity of 512 MW. It will support computing and data storage requirements linked to artificial intelligence services.
AI systems require substantial computing power and reliable electricity. Large data centres provide the infrastructure that companies need to develop and operate these systems.
The Cabinet also cleared land allocation for a proposed Reliance Industries AI data centre at Bhogapuram. The project will use around 25 acres.
These proposals could strengthen Visakhapatnam’s technology investment ecosystem. They may also attract companies that provide cloud computing, digital services and related infrastructure.
Cabinet Clears More Industrial Projects
The meeting also approved several proposals across manufacturing and electronics.
Carbon Cosmo Advanced Materials will establish an integrated manufacturing complex at Naidupeta. The project involves an investment of approximately ₹4,000 crore.
The Cabinet also approved land allocation for Dixon Technologies in Tirupati. The proposed project carries an investment of ₹700 crore.
Another data centre equipment manufacturing unit will come up at Rambilli. The project involves an investment of ₹570.20 crore and could create around 2,565 jobs.
The government also cleared proposals for industrial parks, pharmaceuticals and renewable energy projects.
Focus on Technology and Employment
The Cabinet’s decisions reflect Andhra Pradesh’s push to attract large industrial investments. AI infrastructure, electronics and advanced manufacturing remain key areas.
However, project approvals represent an initial step. Investors must complete construction, secure required clearances and establish operations.
The state will need skilled workers, reliable power and strong digital connectivity to support these facilities.
If companies execute the approved projects on schedule, Andhra Pradesh could strengthen its position in India’s growing technology sector.
