Google's $15 billion data center project in India embroiled in water resource and wildlife protection controversy.

The construction of Google's planned data center hub in India is advancing rapidly, with the hillside above the project site already excavated, revealing layers of red soil and creating terraces. However, the voices of environmentalists opposing the project continue to grow louder, creating significant obstacles for the American tech giant's $15 billion project. The project is located in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, whose Chief Minister, an ally of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has praised the project as historically significant and transformative. In response to external accusations that the project skipped risk assessments and hurriedly commenced while ignoring threats to water resources and wildlife, the state government has denied these claims.
