High Court orders response on Vizag data centre environmental clearance irregularities
The Andhra Pradesh High Court Division Bench, headed by Chief Justice Lisa Gill, heard a public interest litigation on August 24, 2026 challenging the environmental clearances and land transfer granted to Vizag Hyperscale Data Center Park Limited (Google-owned) in Visakhapatnam. The petitioner alleged violations including lack of proper environmental assessment, absence of data localisation as required by law, proximity to an eco-sensitive forest reserve, and that the 160-acre land belonged to Simhachalam Devasthanam temple. The court observed that prescribed environmental clearance processes cannot be bypassed and ordered the State government and Advocate-General to file detailed responses on the alleged irregularities.
Andhra Pradesh IT Minister assures data centres will not tap Visakhapatnam drinking water
IT Minister Nara Lokesh told the Andhra Pradesh Assembly on 19 August 2026 that data centres planned for Visakhapatnam will not draw water from the city's drinking supply. He stated that the proposed 6.5 GW data-centre ecosystem will require approximately 3 tmc ft of water annually, sourced from the industrial allocation of Polavaram water via separate pipelines. The government has capped data-centre allocations at 6.5 GW and will prioritize companies demonstrating strong environmental responsibility. The statement addresses environmental concerns raised by opposition lawmakers about the Google Cloud AI hub project (1 GW) at Tarluvada.
