AdaniConneX-Google Vizag Data Centres to Use Air Cooling Amid India's Growing Sector
AdaniConneX, in partnership with Google, plans to develop data centre campuses in Visakhapatnam using air-cooled systems to minimize freshwater use, limiting consumption to less than an Olympic-sized swimming pool. These centres will have a combined capacity of about 1 gigawatt and employ water recycling and zero-discharge wastewater policies to reduce environmental impact. Meanwhile, India's data centre sector is rapidly expanding, with government support and state policies promoting investment, though concerns about resource use and infrastructure challenges remain.
