"Our world is being defined by our ability to generate, store, access and move data," said Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group. "With the advancements in AI, high-definition content and massive digitization, the need for compute and storage is increasing exponentially. Andhra Pradesh, with its geographical advantages of land for renewable energy and a long coastline, is well positioned to host data center parks not only for our country but also for those nations that are short of land or energy. What the Adani Group brings through our ports, data centers and green energy capabilities is a uniquely powerful combination of unmatched strategic adjacencies within the data center world."
The building will house a data centre with a capacity of 200 MW or more that will be powered entirely by renewable energy. A skill development centre will also be located in the park.
