MUMBAI: The Adani Group on Tuesday committed US$100bil to build renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale artificial intelligence or AI-ready data centres by 2035, outlining what it described as one of the world’s largest integrated energy and compute investments.
The initiative is expected to catalyse an additional US$150bil across allied sectors, creating a projected US$250bil AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the next decade.
The announcement positions the conglomerate at the centre of India’s push to build sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure at scale.
With energy transmission and data centres being brought under a unified framework, the group is seeking to anchor what it calls the country’s “Intelligence Revolution”.
The Adani Group said the US$100bil direct investment would power a long-term sovereign energy and compute platform, combining renewable power generation with hyperscale AI compute capacity.
“The world is entering an intelligence revolution more profound than any previous industrial revolution,” chairman Gautam Adani said. “Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade.
India is uniquely positioned to lead.”
He added that the group is expanding beyond its foundation in green energy and data centres to develop the full five-layer AI stack, with a focus on technological sovereignty.
According to the company, the US$100bil commitment is expected to catalyse a further US$150bil in investments by 2035 in areas such as advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms, server manufacturing, and other supporting industries.
Together, this could create a US$250bil AI infrastructure ecosystem in India.
The roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2GW national data centre capacity, which will be expanded to a 5GW target.
The company said this would position India at the epicentre of the global AI economy.
Among its key partnerships, the group has tied up with Google to establish what it described as the country’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, along with additional campuses in Noida.
It is also working with Microsoft on projects spanning Hyderabad and Pune.
The group is in discussions with other major players looking to set up large-scale campuses across India.
In parallel, Adani will deepen its partnership with Flipkart, moving toward a second AI data centre designed to support the eCommerce major’s high-performance computing and AI workloads.
The proposed 5GW deployment aims to create what the group called the world’s largest integrated data centre platform, bringing together renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure, and hyperscale AI compute within a single architecture.
The company described the initiative as one of the most ambitious integrated energy and AI infrastructure platforms undertaken at a national scale and invited global technology firms, sovereign institutions and innovation partners to collaborate in the effort. — The Statesman/ANN
