The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) has told the High Court that the detailed project report (DPR) submitted by Raiden Infotech Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Google (Alphabet), for the establishment of Google’s hyperscale data centre in Visakhapatnam district, and the land allotment proposal were placed before the State Investment Promotion Committee (SIPC) and the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) after due diligence.

The allotment of 160 acres of land belonging to Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Vari Devasthanam, situated in Adavivaram and Mudasarlova villages of Visakhapatnam Rural mandal, to the company was made after the project was cleared by the SIPC and the SIPB and then by the Council of Ministers, the APIIC said.

The petition filed by environmentalist Bolisetti Satyanarayana on various grounds is coming up for hearing on October 5.

The APIIC further stated that the land allotment letter given to Vizag Hyperscale Data Centre Park Limited in April 2026 clearly mentioned that the ownership remained with the Endowments Department, and advance possession was given accordingly.
