Google's $15bn AI data centre project in Andhra Pradesh has state environmental clearance for 2.51GW of capacity, more than double the 1GW it announced, according to clearance papers reported by the Guardian. The state granted clearance in nine days without a public hearing. Google announced the Visakhapatnam hub in October 2025 with partners AdaniConneX and Airtel. The project spans three sites, and the Human Rights Forum has filed three petitions with India's National Green Tribunal. The state government said no land was taken by force, while Google said the sites would use air cooling rather than water. The tribunal has not decided the petitions.
