Adani to invest $100 billion in AI data centres by 2035

The Adani Group announced on Tuesday that it will invest $100 billion to build data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) in India by 2035. These data centers will be powered by renewable energy. The company said in a statement this investment aims to make India a leader in AI by creating the necessary energy and computing platforms.

This initial investment is expected to lead to an additional $150 billion in related industries by 2035, including server manufacturing, electrical systems, and cloud platforms. This will create $250 billion worth of AI infrastructure in India over the next decade, the company stated.

Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, said that countries that control both energy and computing power will lead in the future.


"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. India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age," he said in a prepared statement.

This builds on AdaniConnex's existing 2 GW data center network, with a goal to reach 5 GW. Adani is working with Google to build a large AI data center campus in Visakhapatnam. They also have partnerships with Microsoft in Hyderabad and Pune. The Group will also expand its data center collaboration with Flipkart to support their ecommerce and AI needs.
