In a major boost to the government’s digital initiatives, Minister for IT, Electronics and Communications, Real Time Governance and Human Resources Development, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Nara Lokesh laid the foundation stone for 50MW AI-powered Edge Datacentre and Open Cable Landing Station (CLS) at Vishakhapatnam, to be built by Sify Infinit Spaces.
Sify will deploy the AI Edge Datacentre, on a 3.6 acre of land allocated by the State Government, to support AI-driven enterprises and digital infrastructure. This Edge Datacentre will be interconnected via the OPGW substation and will be connected by at least two fiber networks. The investment will be to the tune of approximately Rs 1500 crores in two phases. The facility will engage a little more than 1000 people during the construction and operational phases with resources drawn from a mix of technical and locally sources trained resources.
The new CLS facility will strengthen India’s digital backbone by enabling seamless undersea cable connectivity and scalable AI compute capacity at the edge. By bringing low-latency data processing closer to users in India and across the region, the CLS Vizag will serve as a strategic landing point for submarine cables connecting India with Southeast Asia—including Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Thailand.
“Visakhapatnam is fast emerging as India’s global digital gateway on the eastern seaboard. Sify’s world-class infrastructure will not only strengthen our state’s position in the global technology map but also catalyze new opportunities in innovation, employment, and investment. This is just the first step with approvals for a mega data center already in place. This marks a defining moment in Andhra Pradesh’s digital journey and India’s path toward technological self-reliance,” said Nara Lokesh, Minister for IT, Electronics and Communications, Government of Andhra Pradesh.
“We are proud to enable Visakhapatnam’s transformation into a key hub for global connectivity and digital infrastructure. This initiative is just the beginning of our long-term commitment to strengthening India’s digital economy and advancing AI-led innovation at scale,” said Raju Vegesna, Chairman, Sify.
