Andhra Pradesh has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with US-based Tillman Global Holdings to establish a ₹15,000-crore, 300 MW hyperscale data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, marking one of the largest digital infrastructure investments in the state. The project, titled TDGAP1, will be driven by the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) and aims to transform the state into a leading hub for digital infrastructure in India and the wider Indo-Pacific region.
“With TDGAP1, we aim to build a world-class 300 MW campus in Visakhapatnam that anchors long-term digital infrastructure, creates high-quality jobs, and catalyses a broader ecosystem of services and innovation,” said Sachit Ahuja, Co-President of Tillman Global Holdings. The upcoming facility, which will be developed on a 40-acre site, is projected to generate around 1,300 direct and indirect employment opportunities by 2028, spanning areas such as logistics, cloud operations, and ancillary digital services.
The initiative aligns closely with Andhra Pradesh’s vision to attract high-impact technology investments and strengthen its role in India’s data economy. By providing critical infrastructure to support hyperscale computing, the campus will cater to growing demands in AI, cloud computing, digital services, and data storage across industries.
Lokesh Nara, Minister for IT, Electronics and HRD, emphasized the strategic significance of the partnership, stating that the investment will “strengthen Andhra Pradesh’s digital backbone, generate employment for our youth, and attract allied investments across energy, networks, cloud, and services.” He further assured that the state government is committed to ensuring “swift and transparent progress” to make Visakhapatnam a cornerstone of India’s digital future.
The TDGAP1 project underscores Andhra Pradesh’s emergence as a key destination for next-generation data infrastructure, with the potential to accelerate technological advancement, job creation, and sustainable economic growth in the region.
