Google’s $15 billion data centre in Vizag to host 5-GW capacity
Google Cloud’s upcoming $15 billion artificial intelligence (AI) ready data centre in Vishakhapatnam will host capacity going up to 5 gigawatts (GW), CEO Thomas Kurian told ET on Thursday. While the company has till now only maintained the upcoming AI hub will be ‘gigawatt scale’, a 5 GW capacity is much more than India’s current total data centre capacity which was 1.5 GW as of 2025-end, according to official figures.
Speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing Google Cloud Next 2026 annual summit here, Kurian told a select media roundtable that the upcoming campus will have multiple data centres. “And then, that goes up to 5 GW. That is a very, very large campus,” he said.
