Change
Andhra Pradesh approved increasing APIIC land allotted for Raiden Infotech’s Google-linked AI data center project to 601.4 acres from 480 acres, in favour of Adani Infra (India) Ltd as the notified partner.
Why it matters
The state’s order increases the approved land footprint to 601.4 acres across Tarluvada (266.6 acres), Adavivaram & Mudasarlova (160 acres), and Rambilli (175 acres) in Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli districts. This change enlarges the developable campus area for the AI data center program and associated infrastructure, affecting site layout, phasing, and utility tie-ins. The approval also formalizes APIIC’s allotment in favour of Adani Infra (India) Ltd, identified as Raiden Infotech’s notified partner, shifting land transaction execution to that entity. Raiden Infotech additionally confirmed Adani Infra and AdaniConneX as authorized points of contact for finalizing land transactions and developing the campuses, tightening counterparties for vendors and agencies.
Implications
- • Expanded land footprint changes campus design, phasing, and capex sequencing
- • Single counterparty (Adani Infra) centralizes land transaction execution
- • Utility and connectivity provisioning scope increases across three locations
- • Vendor engagement routes through Adani Infra/AdaniConneX as contacts
Who is affected
- • Raiden Infotech India Pvt Ltd (Google company)
- • Adani Infra (India) Ltd and AdaniConneX
- • Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC)
- • Data center construction, power, and connectivity vendors in Andhra Pradesh
