Chief Minister of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrabab Naidu said that Alphabet Inc.'s $15 billion artificial intelligence hub project in the state is progressing according to plan and is expected to be put into operation in 2028. Despite growing concerns among local residents about resource constraints, he promised to guarantee an uninterrupted supply of electricity and water for the project. In an interview in the port city of Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, Naidu stated that the state government has taken various precautions to meet the energy needs of these projects. He also specifically mentioned Blackstone's upcoming investment in new data centers. “At this stage, we have no way back,” he said. “We have to push it to the end. But at the same time, neither I nor Google will make any compromises in the public interest.”
