AdaniConneX and Google plan to use air cooling at planned data centre campuses in Vizag (Visakhapatnam) in order to reduce freshwater use. The proposals cover two locations—Mudasarlova and Tarluvada—as part of a larger development aimed at establishing Vizag as an AI data and infrastructure hub.
Multiple outlets describe the cooling approach as a key design element. NDTV reports that the overall development is expected to have around 1 gigawatt of capacity across the campuses. Business Line adds that the facilities will use dedicated industrial water connections, indicating that while freshwater consumption is targeted for reduction, water infrastructure remains part of the operational design. The reporting does not detail specific water-reduction figures or the exact performance targets.
Overall, the coverage focuses on how cooling technology and water sourcing are being addressed within the planned data centre rollout in Vizag, balancing scale with resource efficiency.
