Next gate to watch: Builder appointed.

Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How India approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in India.

Where it sits

Visakhapatnam holds 9 active projects with 2,148 MW of planned IT load between them, and Google India AI Hub (Visakhapatnam) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Visakhapatnam, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

AdaniConneX has 5 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including AdaniConneX Hyderabad (Elikatta campus), AdaniConneX Taloja campus and AdaniConneX Pune. It sits on the Google Visakhapatnam AI Hub campus. Named funding comes from Google on the equity side and Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX. The named user of the compute is Google (confirmed).

The build is phased. Adivivaram campus (120 acres) is land and permitting; Tarluvada campus (200 acres) is under construction; Rambilli / Achyutapuram campus (160 acres) is land and permitting. The dated record runs from announced only on 14 October 2025 to under construction on 28 April 2026. The money on record is US$15bn as of October 2025, the announced investment. Power comes from Andhra Pradesh state power distribution company through grid supply (reported, unconfirmed).

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in India, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 12 public sources for this project, the latest dated 16 October 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.

Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
