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.
Visakhapatnam holds 9 active projects with 2,148 MW of planned IT load between them, and Sify Vizag AI data centre and open CLS ranks 5th by planned capacity. 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.
Sify has 4 others in India tracked by ArusGrid, including Sify Rabale campus, Sify Chennai 02 Siruseri campus and Sify Noida 02. It sits on the Sify Vizag campus. Named funding comes from Sify Technologies on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-02, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 14 October 2025. The money on record is US$169m as of October 2025, the announced investment.
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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 29 June 2026, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.
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.
Stated AI purpose (Vizag's 'first AI-powered data centre') at groundbreaking; no dated deployment.
This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

Checked on 2026-10-02. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.
ArusGrid estimate, grade C. Published band for this country. Priced on the hyperscale band, which already reflects anchor deals. No usable capex for this site. Electricity unstated in the band. An estimate, never a quote, computed by fixed rules published on the Colo prices page and never counted in any total.
