Adani Group's AI boost! Plans to pour in $100 billion in data centres by next decade

The Adani Group has unveiled an ambitious plan to invest $100 billion over the next decade to build renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres across India, targeting completion by 2035. Announcing the move on Tuesday, the conglomerate described the proposal as one of the largest integrated commitments globally in energy and computing. It said the initiative is intended to create a sovereign energy and compute platform that will anchor India’s role in what it called the emerging Intelligence Revolution.

It stated, "The Adani Group today announced one of the world's largest integrated energy-compute commitments, a direct investment of $100 billion to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035".

The Group said the direct investment is expected to stimulate a further $150 billion in adjacent sectors such as server manufacturing, advanced electrical systems, sovereign cloud platforms and other supporting industries by 2035. Combined, this is projected to result in a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the coming decade.




Chairman Gautam Adani also highlighted the scale of change. He said, "The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution. 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."

The plan is an expansion of AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW data centre network and outlines a pathway to scale capacity up to 5 GW. Among the key projects is a gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, being developed in partnership with Google. Additional campuses are planned in Noida, while collaborations with Microsoft will extend across Hyderabad and Pune.

The company said it is also in talks with other global technology players to establish further large-scale campuses nationwide. Alongside this, it will deepen its engagement with Flipkart through the development of a second AI-focused data centre aimed at supporting advanced digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads.

According to the Group, the proposed 5 GW rollout would create an integrated platform combining renewable energy generation, transmission networks and hyperscale AI computing within a single system. The facilities will be designed for high-density AI processing, supported by advanced cooling technologies and efficient power infrastructure. Dedicated computing capacity will be allocated for Indian Large Language Models and national data initiatives.

To support the infrastructure build-out, the Group plans to invest in domestic manufacturing of critical components such as transformers, power electronics, grid systems and thermal management solutions. The objective is to reinforce India’s supply chains and reduce dependence on global sources.
