Where it sits

Visakhapatnam holds 7 active projects with 2,148 MW of planned IT load between them, and Reliance Vizianagaram AI Data Centre has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are under construction and 5 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Visakhapatnam, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

It is the only Reliance Industries project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Reliance Bhogapuram AIDC and CLS campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 20 May 2026. The money on record is INR 108,010 as of May 2026, a government approval ceiling.

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in India, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 24 August 2026, and last checked the record on 1 October 2026.
