The Adani Group has unveiled a landmark plan to invest USD 100 billion by 2035 to construct a renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale data centre infrastructure designed to support advanced artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and digital ecosystems across India.
Anchored on expanding its AdaniConnex data centre platform from 2 GW to 5 GW, the initiative aims to establish a sovereign energy-compute backbone that integrates generation, transmission and high-density compute capacity into a unified architecture. The data centres will be powered by clean energy from portfolios led by Adani Green Energy, including the 30 GW Khavda renewable project, with additional investment earmarked to expand renewable capacity and battery storage systems.
According to company disclosures, the direct investment is expected to catalyse approximately USD 150 billion in related industries—from server manufacturing and grid systems to sovereign cloud platforms and electrical infrastructure—creating an estimated USD 250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem over the next decade.
Strategic partnerships with global technology players, such as Google and Microsoft on multi-gigawatt AI data centre campuses, underline efforts to position India as a competitive hub in the global AI landscape. The planned facilities will incorporate advanced cooling and efficient power designs, with dedicated compute capacity reserved for national priorities, research institutions and domestic innovators.
By tightly coupling renewable energy generation with high-performance computing infrastructure, the Adani Group’s investment underscores the rising importance of sustainable power in meeting the surging energy demands of AI and digital technologies.
