By 2 Min ReadNEW DELHI, July 15 (Reuters) – Alphabet Inc’s Google is expanding its cloud infrastructure in India, with a second cluster of data centers in and around the capital New Delhi, to meet rising customer demand in a key growth market, according to senior company executives. “It’s a significant capital and infrastructure investment from us, and it’s designed to allow us to capture the opportunity that we see around growth,” Kurian said. “The new infrastructure will help provide solutions for problems like disaster recovery within India, as well as ensure low latency for many state-run enterprises in and around Delhi.” Last year, it put $4.5 billion into Jio Platforms, the digital arm of oil-to-telecoms conglomerate Reliance Industries, as part of a so-called $10 billion digitisation fund earmarked for India. In June, Google announced a partnership with Jio to help the country’s largest wireless carrier with tech solutions for enterprise and consumer offerings ahead of the launch of 5G services.
