Adani Group commits $100 billion to sovereign AI infrastructure

Adani Group commits $100 billion to build renewable-powered AI data centres, aiming to create a $250B ecosystem and position India as a global AI leader.

"Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead. - Gautam Adani"

Ahmedabad, Feb 17

The Adani Group on Tuesday 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 initiative will establish a long-term sovereign energy and compute platform designed to position India as a global leader in the emerging Intelligence Revolution.

The investment is expected to catalyse by 2035 an additional $150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and supporting industries.

Together, this is projected to create a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the decade.

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

"Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead," the Adani Group Chairman said.

He added that 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.

This roadmap builds on AdaniConnex's existing 2 GW national data centre, expanding toward a 5 GW target that positions India at the epicentre of the global AI economy.

This vision is anchored by landmark partnerships with Google to establish the nation's largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft spanning Hyderabad and Pune.

The Adani Group 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.

In line with this vision, the Group 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.

This long-term commitment by the Adani Group establishes one of the world's most ambitious integrated energy and AI infrastructure platforms ever undertaken at national scale.

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

While the scale is impressive, I hope there is strong regulatory oversight. Such a concentrated investment in critical infrastructure by a single corporate group raises questions about market dominance. The benefits must be widespread and not just for one entity.

Partnerships with Google and Microsoft are key. We need global tech expertise, but the 'sovereign' part is most important. Our data should stay in India, processed by infrastructure we control. This is a big step towards true digital atmanirbharta.

Visakhapatnam, Noida, Hyderabad, Pune... glad to see development spreading beyond the usual metros. This will boost local economies and create tech hubs across the country. Hope they also look at Tier-2 cities in the East and North-East for future phases.

The green energy angle is what makes this truly world-class. Combining massive compute needs with renewable power is the only sustainable path forward. If executed well, this could be a global blueprint. Exciting times for India's tech sector!

$250 billion ecosystem by 2035... the numbers are mind-boggling. This has the potential to completely transform our manufacturing sector for servers and advanced electronics. We must ensure the supply chain and component manufacturing also develops within India.
