ndia | Data Centres | Reported 14 November 2026
Blackstone-backed AirTrunk has advanced plans for a major hyperscale data centre investment in Andhra Pradesh, involving an estimated ₹1.03 lakh crore. The company has submitted a detailed project report for two campuses with a combined potential capacity of up to 1.8 GW, according to a report published on November 14.
The proposal, currently under consideration by state authorities, represents one of India's largest prospective digital infrastructure investments. Earlier investment announcements associated with AirTrunk India-JCK Infra cited 1,400 MW of capacity and approximately 3,120 employment opportunities.
The development is expected to strengthen Andhra Pradesh's ambition to become a significant artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure hub. AirTrunk has indicated that its proposed facilities would use air-cooled technology and industrial water supplies to reduce pressure on municipal resources.
Project implementation will depend on regulatory approvals, infrastructure readiness and phased investment decisions.
Project status: Detailed project report submitted; proposal under consideration.
