As part of strengthening the region's digital infrastructure, SISL will receive an additional 25 acres for the second phase. Previously, SISL had obtained 3.6 acres in Madhurawada and 25 acres in Paradesipalem in 2025. The state government will allocate 12.40 acres of new land, subject to the outcome of a related case pending with the Survey and Settlement Department; the remaining 12.60 acres will be allocated after the resolution of related pending court cases. According to reports, SISL will pay INR 5 million (USD 52,143) per acre. The government stated that the company must complete the first phase of the project before receiving the remaining land.
In addition to the land allocation to SISL, the government has also allocated 49.93 acres to CtrlS Datacenters Ltd at the APIIC Industrial Park in Rambilli. The company will build a 100 MW data center in Anakapalle district, with an investment of INR 27.883 billion (USD 292 million). Reports indicate that CtrlS has received a customized incentive package, including capital subsidies, refunds of state goods and services tax related to construction, preferential electricity tariffs, and other benefits within the specified scope.
Furthermore, Infinx Technology Solutions Pvt Ltd has received 5.08 acres at the Kapuluppada IT Park to build an IT/ITeS campus, with a proposed investment of INR 1.7 billion (USD 17.8 million). Eclat Health Solutions (India) Private Limited has also received 2 acres to build an IT/ITeS campus in Rushikonda, Madhurawada, and is developing the site with an investment of INR 500 million (USD 5.24 million).
These land allocations are part of the Andhra Pradesh government's plan to bring more data center capacity online. Over the next four years, the state plans to increase data center capacity to up to 1 GW. This initiative has attracted companies like Google, which broke ground on its USD 15 billion India AI hub project in Visakhapatnam earlier this year.
