Reliance Industries, in partnership with Brookfield Asset Management and Digital Realty Trust, has announced plans to invest $11bn by 2030 to develop an AI-focused data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Digital Connexion, the JV formed by the three companies, confirmed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board for this project, reported Bloomberg.

The campus will cover 400 acres (1.6187km²) and is expected to have a capacity of one gigawatt (1GW).

Other technology companies have recently announced similar investments in India.

In October 2025, Google stated its intention to spend approximately $15bn over five years on an AI infrastructure hub, also in Visakhapatnam.

Meanwhile, Amazon has outlined plans to invest $12.7bn towards cloud infrastructure in India by the end of this decade, while OpenAI is exploring the development of a 1GW data centre in the South Asian country.

Also in October 2025, Reliance Industries, through Reliance Intelligence, and Google have announced a strategic partnership to promote the adoption of AI across India.

The collaboration will combine Reliance Industries’ scale and ecosystem with Google’s AI technology to increase AI accessibility and support the development of India’s digital infrastructure.

Reliance Industries is partnering with Google Cloud to provide broader access to the latter’s AI hardware accelerators, including Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), as part of its plan to develop large-scale, clean energy-powered computing infrastructure.

The collaboration also designates Reliance Intelligence as a strategic partner to support the adoption of Gemini Enterprise by Indian organisations.

In a separate announcement, Tata Consultancy Services reported it will work with private equity firm TPG to establish a JV named HyperVault AI Data Centre, with a combined equity investment of Rs180bn ($2.03bn).

The capital will be committed in stages over several years, and the companies are seeking to raise an additional $4.5bn to $5bn through debt financing.

TCS did not provide further information regarding the number or locations of the new data centres.
