Broken promises, confiscated land: the hyperscale AI datacentre being built in a tiny Indian village

Google is constructing a $15 billion hyperscale AI data centre in a village in Andhra Pradesh, India. Residents allege the project has led to the government reclaiming their small farms, contrary to earlier assurances. The community reports loss of land and unfulfilled promises, while the company proceeds with the large‑scale facility amid local opposition and environmental concerns.
