Vizag data centre boom to create over 51,800 jobs
Visakhapatnam is a big city in India, on the coast.
People sometimes call it the 'City of Destiny.'
A new report says the city will get many data centres.
Data centres are big buildings full of computers that keep websites and apps working.
Because of these buildings, more than 51,000 people may get jobs.
Some jobs are building the data centres, and others are in shops, hotels, and transport.
Lots of workers will move to Visakhapatnam, so the city will need many new homes.
That is why the report predicts demand for lots of new housing.
A company called Square Yards wrote the report.
It says data centres can help cities grow big and strong.
A Square Yards report estimates proposed data centre projects in Visakhapatnam will generate 51,840 jobs.
The projects are expected to create 3,240 direct jobs and 48,600 jobs in allied sectors.
The report projects demand for 2.33 crore sq. ft. of residential real estate around Visakhapatnam.
Growth is expected across commercial spaces, warehouses, retail centres, and civic infrastructure.
Square Yards says data centres are emerging as the next big driver of urban growth in India.
