Google is building a $15 billion AI datacentre in Andhra Pradesh, India, promising jobs and development to the village of Tarluvada, but local communities and activists oppose the project over environmental and economic concerns. The actual power capacity (2.51GW) is more than double the publicly announced figure, potentially consuming over 30% of the state's current energy and relying heavily on coal-powered electricity. The state government and Google's partner Adani Group are accused of downplaying the project's scale to expedite approvals and avoid environmental scrutiny.
