Reports suggest that the completion of the project will be achieved in the next 6-7 years. While 82 acres are said to be allocated for the data centre, 28 acres will be allotted for the business park, 11 acres for the skill development university, and 9 acres for the recreational park. The government has agreed to the proposal of the Adani Group to allocate 200MW of power for the data centre in Vizag. With an initial investment of Rs 14,634 crores, this upcoming facility is expected to create over 24,000 jobs.

It may be recalled that MNCs such as Infosys, Randstad, and Amazon have announced their ventures in the beach city. Randstad, a multinational HR firm, has recently opened up in the newly-constructed Lansum Square at Isukathota Junction.
