Reliance Industries has announced that it will build a 1 gigawatt (GW) AI data centre in Andhra Pradesh. The decision comes soon after Google revealed its own plan to invest USD 15 billion in a 1 GW data centre cluster in Vizag.

The new Reliance data centre will be fully modular and will use advanced AI processors, graphic processing units (GPUs) and tensor processing units (TPUs). The company says the facility will be similar to its large data centre in Jamnagar.

In October, the Andhra Pradesh government signed a major agreement with Google to set up a data centre cluster. According to State IT Minister Nara Lokesh, the goal is to develop a total data centre capacity of 6 GW in the state. So far, the government has finalised a 500 MW deal with Sify and a 1 GW deal with Google.
