Google is currently developing a $15 billion data centre hub in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Construction is underway at the site, which has been cleared and terraced, but the project faces significant opposition from environmentalists concerned about potential impacts on local water supplies and wildlife habitats.
State officials in Andhra Pradesh have formally denied allegations that the project was approved through an expedited process that bypassed necessary environmental risk assessments. The development remains a point of contention as the tech giant works to establish its infrastructure in the region.
