The build and the budget
Clean Max has entered into an agreement with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board to develop an integrated complex that links large-scale computing with clean power. In a Thursday disclosure, the company outlined a plan to invest 500 billion rupees, centered on a 2 gigawatt compute factory in Kurnool district.
The power stack is designed to match that load with new clean capacity. The blueprint adds 3 gigawatts of combined wind and solar and 1 gigawatt of pumped hydro storage, rolled out in stages.
Anchor tenant and cooling tech
Neysa will anchor the compute facility with 1 gigawatt of IT load. The AI cloud provider, established in 2023 with backing from Blackstone, plans to deploy direct-to-chip cooling to keep water consumption down at the site.
The phased build aims to have no less than 1.5 gigawatts of renewable capacity online by 2029, aligning the energy additions with the compute ramp.

The state's tech push
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has a roadmap to position Andhra Pradesh as a tech hub, which features a $15 billion AI data center to be operated by Alphabet Inc.'s Google. He told Bloomberg News the state is preparing for extra resource demand by expanding renewable energy capacity.
Why it matters for your portfolio
This is a clear tell for where capex in India is heading: data infrastructure tied directly to dedicated clean power. A 2 gigawatt compute load with a named anchor, matched with multi-gigawatt renewables and storage, points to durable demand for turbines, panels, storage systems and grid buildouts.
