The port city of Visakhapatnam is likely to house the record-breaking data center which will surpass all existing facilities in Asia in both capacity and investment size.
As per Reuters, government sources confirm this aligns with Google’s aggressive expansion across Asian markets like Singapore and Malaysia.
Nearly one-third of the total investment will fund sustainable energy solutions to power the massive operation.
