The Government of Andhra Pradesh, through the AP Economic Development Board (APEDB), has signed an MoU with Tillman Global Holdings to establish a 300 MW hyperscale data centre campus (TDGAP1) in Visakhapatnam with an investment of Rs 15,000 crore.

The project aims to position Andhra Pradesh as a premier digital infrastructure hub in India and the Indo-Pacific. Signed during the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Roundtable in New Delhi, the MoU was witnessed by HRD and IT Minister Nara Lokesh, USISPF Chairman John Chambers, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh, and others. The date centre, spread over 40 acres, is expected to generate 200–300 direct and up to 1,000 indirect employment opportunities by 2028, fostering allied growth in cloud, logistics, and ancillary services.

APEDB will coordinate facilitation, while Tillman Global provides investment, design, and technology. The initiative underscores Andhra Pradesh’s commitment to developing a robust digital ecosystem through strategic global partnerships.
