The Andhra Pradesh government has approved a substantial incentive package of ₹19,100 crore (approximately $2.3 billion USD) for Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) to establish a giga-scale AI Data Center and a Cable Landing Station in Vizianagaram district. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to transform Andhra Pradesh into a leading hub for AI and digital infrastructure, with a total proposed investment of ₹1,08,010 crore (around $13 billion USD). The project will utilize 855 acres of land across multiple villages in the district and is designed to enhance connectivity to global internet networks through the Cable Landing Station. The state government has tailored its incentives under the Andhra Pradesh Data Center Policy 4.0, which includes a 25% discount on land allotment, subsidies on power and water tariffs, and various fiscal benefits aimed at encouraging advanced data center projects. This investment is expected to generate significant employment opportunities and foster additional investments in telecommunications, cloud services, and AI infrastructure, further solidifying Andhra Pradesh's position in the digital economy.
