The Adani Group has unveiled a $100 billion commitment to build renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035, positioning India at the heart of emerging Intelligence Revolution.
The investment aims to create not just data centres, but an integrated sovereign energy-and-compute platform. By 2035, the initiative is expected to catalyse an additional $150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and related industries — forming a projected $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India.
“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,” said Chairman Gautam Adani.
Building the World’s Largest Integrated Platform
At the centre of the roadmap is the expansion of AdaniConnex’s national data centre footprint from 2 GW to a targeted 5 GW capacity — potentially making it the world’s largest integrated data centre platform. Unlike traditional expansions, this programme merges renewable generation, grid resilience and hyperscale AI compute into a single coordinated architecture.
A landmark partnership with Google will establish India’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida.
A second major collaboration with Microsoft spans Hyderabad and Pune. The Group is also deepening ties with Flipkart to develop a second AI-focused data centre tailored for next-generation digital commerce and high-performance workloads.
Facilities will be engineered for dense compute clusters, powered by advanced liquid cooling systems and high-efficiency architecture. Dedicated capacity will support Indian Large Language Models and national data initiatives, reinforcing data sovereignty and secure AI development.
Renewable Power as Strategic Advantage
AI workloads are becoming increasingly energy-intensive — and this is where Adani’s renewable ambitions converge with compute. Anchoring the strategy is Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda renewable project, of which over 10 GW is already operational.
The Group plans an additional $55 billion investment to expand renewable capacity, including one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems.
This integration of green energy and hyperscale compute aims to deliver competitively priced, carbon-neutral power at scale — a decisive advantage in the global AI race.
Strategic cable landing stations at Adani ports will further enable low-latency connectivity across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, positioning India as a globally integrated AI hub.
Building Aatmanirbhar Supply Chains
To mitigate supply-chain risks, the Group plans co-investments in domestic manufacturing of transformers, advanced power electronics, grid systems and industrial thermal management solutions. The objective: transform India from a data processing hub into a producer and exporter of next-generation compute infrastructure.
Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti programme, Adani is embedding AI across its logistics, ports and industrial corridors, creating intelligent, hyper-efficient operations while safeguarding data sovereignty.
Democratising Compute, Powering Talent
In line with India’s five-layer AI architecture — Applications, Models, Chips, Energy and Data Centres — a portion of GPU capacity will be reserved for Indian startups, research institutions and deep-tech entrepreneurs. Academic partnerships will launch AI infrastructure curricula, research labs and national fellowship programmes to address the skills gap.
The scale of ambition is unmistakable. By fusing renewable energy dominance with hyperscale AI infrastructure, the Adani Group is not merely expanding capacity — it is attempting to script India’s role as a global creator and exporter of intelligence in the AI age.
