Big moves in India's tech scene: AirTrunk, backed by Blackstone, wants to build two huge data centers in Andhra Pradesh for about $11 billion.
If approved, these campuses would deliver up to 1.8 gigawatts of capacity, making this one of the country's largest digital infrastructure projects yet.
Andhra Pradesh targets sustainable digital hub
This is not just about servers and storage: Andhra Pradesh is aiming to become a major digital hub.
AirTrunk says it will use low-water, air-cooled systems and industrial water sources to address resource concerns.
The state's Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is also pushing for more renewable energy and better water management.
Plus, with Google investing $15 billion in an AI hub here too, it looks like Andhra Pradesh is serious about leading India's tech future.
