The Adani Group has announced a landmark $100 billion direct investment to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres across India by 2035. The initiative is being positioned as one of the world’s largest integrated energy-compute commitments and aims to establish a sovereign energy and compute platform for the country.
The announcement underscores India’s ambition to become a global leader in what the Group describes as the emerging “Intelligence Revolution.” According to Chairman Gautam Adani, nations that successfully align energy capacity with high-performance computing will shape the next technological era. He emphasised that India is uniquely positioned to lead, given its renewable energy growth and expanding digital ecosystem.
The $100 billion commitment is expected to catalyse an additional $150 billion in related investments by 2035, spanning server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms, semiconductor-linked ecosystems, and allied industries. Together, this could create a projected $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the next decade.
This roadmap builds upon the Group’s existing data centre footprint through AdaniConnex, which currently has a 2 GW national data centre platform. The new plan aims to expand capacity to 5 GW, positioning India at the centre of global AI infrastructure development.
A key part of the strategy includes major technology partnerships. The Group has announced collaboration with Google to establish what is expected to be India’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam. Additional campuses are planned in Noida. It has also partnered with Microsoft for projects in Hyderabad and Pune, further strengthening hyperscale AI compute capacity.
In the digital commerce space, the Group will deepen its collaboration with Flipkart, working toward a second AI-focused data centre to support next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing, and large-scale AI workloads.
The proposed 5 GW deployment is designed as an integrated platform combining renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure, and hyperscale AI compute within a single coordinated architecture. By linking clean energy production directly with advanced computing capacity, the model seeks to reduce carbon intensity while supporting high-demand AI workloads.
The Adani Group has invited global technology companies, sovereign institutions, and innovation partners to collaborate in building what it describes as one of the world’s most ambitious integrated energy and AI infrastructure platforms at a national scale.
If executed as planned, the initiative could significantly reshape India’s role in global AI infrastructure, energy transition, and digital sovereignty over the coming decade.
