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 TCS HyperVault Anakapalli 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.

HyperVault has 1 other in India tracked by ArusGrid, including TCS HyperVault Hyderabad AI campus. Named funding comes from Tata Consultancy Services and TPG on the equity side. The named user of the compute is OpenAI (reported, unconfirmed).

The stage was recorded as at the land and permitting stage on 21 July 2026.

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 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 21 July 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
