Andhra Pradesh government hands over 480 acres of land to Adani for building a data center
Guatam Adani: Andhra Pradesh has approved the transfer of 480 acres of land in Visakhapatnam and Anakapalle districts to Adani Infra (India) Private Limited. Adani Infra is a partner of Google's Raiden Infotech India. Together, they are pursuing a project to build a large data center here.
State government ministers approved the proposal after receiving it from Raiden Infotech India, and the official order was issued on December 2. The land acquisition will strengthen the digital infrastructure and boost technology investment.
87500 crores spent on building data centers
The order, issued on December 2, stated, "After carefully examining the proposal, the Government and the Council of Ministers, in their meeting held on November 28, 2025, approved the transfer of 480 acres of land in Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli districts to M/s Adani Infra India Private Limited."
Raiden Infotech India is investing over ₹87,500 crore in the first phase of data center development across Andhra Pradesh. In return, the company will receive ₹22,000 crore in incentives from the state over time as part of the government's efforts to promote digital projects.
What did Raiden demand?
According to the government order, Raiden has requested that its notified partners, including Adani Infra, be authorized to avail incentives previously promised by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's government for the data center project. Raiden Infotech, a Google subsidiary, will build a 1 GW AI data center as a key part of the project. The company has identified several 'notified partners', including Adani Infra, AdaniConnex India, Adani Power India, Bharti Airtel, Nextra Data, and Nextra Vizag (a subsidiary of Bharti Airtel).
Raiden has specifically requested that all three land parcels identified by Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (APIIC) be allotted to Adani Infra as the primary notified partner after completion of survey and handing over of possession.
The government order states that the data center will be built to the same standards as those supporting Google's core services, such as Search, YouTube, and Workspace. The planned facility's 1 GW power consumption would be equivalent to Mumbai's annual electricity use.
