Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy laid the foundation stone on May 3 (Wednesday) for the ₹21,844-crore data centre coming up as part of the Vizag Tech Park Limited (VTPL) of the Adani Group.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the data centre would be a game changer, and help Visakhapatnam transform from a Tier-II to Tier-I city in the near future. “More significantly, the centre runs entirely on green power generated from renewable sources,” the Chief Minister said, and thanked the Adani Group for setting up the largest such facility in the country in Visakhapatnam.
Addressing the gathering at Hill No. 4 at Rushikonda on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that setting up of a 300-MW data centre would also play a key role in the India-Singapore submarine cable system, which would change the future dynamics of broadband services.
