June 15 (Reuters) - Electronics manufacturer Jabil and India's Adani Enterprises on Monday announced a partnership to build an integrated AI and data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in the country.
• The platform will serve the infrastructure needs of global hyperscalers, co-location facilities and enterprise data centers, directly addressing the "explosive" local and global demand for AI-ready data center hardware, the companies said.
• Jabil and Adani added they were working on operational frameworks and formal documentation for the partnership, but did not disclose any financial details.
• India's digital infrastructure will see over $50 billion in planned spending across data center, cloud and AI ecosystems, they said.
• The move aligns with Adani's plans to spend $100 billion on renewable-powered AI-ready data centers by 2035.
• Jabil, which counts Apple as one of its customers, raised its annual forecast in February, betting on strong demand for infrastructure services from AI data centers.
