Adani Group unveils $100 billion bet on AI data centres

Adani Group announced direct investment of USD 100 billion to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035. The investment is expected to catalyse by 2035 an additional USD 150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and supporting industries. Together, it is projected to create a USD 250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the decade, the Group said in a statement.

The roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2 gigawatts (GW) national data centre and expanding toward a 5 GW target, it said.

The Group has partnered with Google to establish the nation’s largest gigawattscale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft spanning Hyderabad and Pune.

The Adani Group said it is also in discussion with other major players seeking to establish large scale campuses across India thereby further cementing its position as India’s premier AI infrastructure partner.

Adani Group said it will also deepen its data centre partnership with Flipkart, advancing the collaboration toward the development of a second AI data centre purpose built to support Flipkart’s next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads.

The 5 GW deployment will create the world’s largest integrated data centre platform, combining renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI compute within a single coordinated architecture, the group said.

“The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution,” Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, said.

“Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead. At Adani, we are building on our foundation in data centres and green energy to expand into the complete five-layer AI stack focused on India’s technological sovereignty. India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future,” he said.

Unlike conventional data centre expansions, the program is designed as a unified energy-and-compute ecosystem, where generation, grid resilience and high-density processing capacity are developed in parallel, the Group said.

As global AI workloads become increasingly energy-intensive, the Adani Group said it is uniquely positioned to provide the competitively priced, carbon-neutral power essential for the transition.

Central to this strategy is Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project, of which over 10 GW is already operational. In addition, Adani Group is committed to investing another USD 55 billion to expand its renewable energy portfolio, which will include one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems (BESS). Strategic connectivity through cable landing stations, including at Adani’s network of ports, will ensure low-latency global integration with the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, the statement said.

Adani Group said it will also co-invest in domestic manufacturing partnerships of critical infrastructure components, including high capacity transformers, advanced power electronics, grid systems, inverters and industrial thermal management solutions.

A significant portion of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) capacity will be reserved for Indian AI startups, research institutions and deep-tech entrepreneurs, alleviating compute scarcity and fostering a domestic innovation ecosystem, it added.

The Adani Group said it will work with leading academic institutions and will establish specialised AI Infrastructure Engineering curricula, applied AI research labs focused on energy and logistics and a national fellowship program to address the growing skills gap.

The Group said its long-term commitment establishes one of the world’s most ambitious integrated energy and AI infrastructure platforms ever undertaken at national scale.

The Adani Group invited global technology companies, sovereign institutions and innovation partners to participate and collaborate in building India’s next-generation AI infrastructure platform.
