New Delhi: In one of the world’s largest integrated energy-and-compute investments, the Adani Group on Monday committed USD 100 billion to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centers by 2035.
This is expected to catalyze an additional USD 150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and allied industries, creating a projected USD 250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem over the decade, the conglomerate said in a statement.
“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 Group, we are building on our foundation in data centers 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,” Gautam Adani, Chairman, said.
The group’s roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW national data center footprint and expands toward a 5 GW deployment, creating what it said would be the world’s largest integrated data center platform. Its architecture combines renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI compute in a single coordinated ecosystem, with energy generation, grid resilience and high-density processing capacity developed alongside.
The group’s landmark partnerships include Google for a gigawatt-scale AI data center campus in Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), additional campuses in Noida, and Microsoft facilities spanning Hyderabad and Pune.
The group is also deepening its partnership with Flipkart to develop a second AI data center tailored for digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads. Discussions are ongoing with other global players for additional campuses, the company added.
Facilities will support high-density compute clusters and next-generation AI workloads, using advanced liquid cooling systems and high-efficiency power architecture. Dedicated capacity will support Indian Large Language Models (LLMs) and national data initiatives, ensuring long-term data sovereignty.
Central to the strategy is Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project in Kutch district, with over 10 GW already operational. The group has committed an additional USD 55 billion to expand its renewable portfolio, including one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems (BESS). Transmission networks and cable landing stations across Adani’s port network will ensure low-latency global connectivity with the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia.
To mitigate supply-chain volatility, the conglomerate will co-invest in domestic manufacturing of critical components such as high-capacity transformers, advanced power electronics, grid systems, inverters, and industrial thermal management solutions — positioning India as both a data hub and an exporter of next-generation compute infrastructure.
Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti programme, the Adani Group is embedding agentic AI across logistics, ports and industrial corridors, leveraging its AI-based industry cloud that already manages millions of renewable assets in real time.
A portion of GPU capacity will be reserved for Indian AI startups, research institutions and deep-tech entrepreneurs to address compute scarcity. In parallel, Adani will collaborate with leading academic institutions to establish AI infrastructure engineering curricula, applied AI labs and a national fellowship programme.
