Google plans to invest up to $6 billion in India to establish its first data center in the country, a project that could become the largest of its kind in Asia. To ensure reliable electricity supply, the tech giant is also preparing to invest in renewable energy infrastructure locally.
Google eyes India with its largest data center, clean energy
Citing sources within the Indian government, Reuters reported that Google is committing $4 billion to develop a 1-gigawatt data center in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh.
While Google has previously spent billions expanding data center capacity in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, this marks its first foray into India. With both the size and investment scale poised to surpass previous efforts in the region, the project is attracting significant attention.
