The initiative by The Adani Group plans to fuel the data centres with renewable energy and establish a long-term sovereign energy and compute platform. It will be designed to position India as a global leader in the digital transformation race.

Adani said its direct investment is one of the world’s largest commitments and hopes to catalyse an additional $150 billion ‘intelligence ecosystem’ over the next decade across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and supporting industries.

In total, the initiative is expected to create a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the next decade.

“The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution,” said Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group. “Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead.”

He added: “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. We will be the creators, the builders and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future.”

The company’s roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing two-gigawatt (2GW) national data centre and will expand towards a 5GW target that positions India at the centre of the global AI economy. Adani wants the 5GW deployment to create the world’s largest integrated data centre platform that combines renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI compute within a single coordinated infrastructure.

Unlike conventional expansions, the programme has been designed as a unified system where generation, grid resilience and high-density processing capacity are developed in parallel. Adani is actualising this via strong partnerships with Google to establish the nation’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, in addition to campuses in Noida and with Microsoft across Hyderabad and Pune.

Likewise, the Adani Group is in discussion with other major industry players as it seeks to establish large-scale campuses across India, as it hopes to cement its position as India’s premier AI infrastructure partner.

The company said it is also deepening its partnership with Flipkart to work towards developing a second AI data centre purpose-built to support Flipkart’s next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing (HPC) and large-scale AI workloads.

Strategic connectivity through cable landing stations, including at Adani’s network of ports, will ensure low-latency global integration with the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, Adani said. The company is also co-investing in domestic manufacturing partnerships of critical infrastructure components. These include high-capacity transformers, advanced power electronics, grid systems, inverters and industrial thermal management solutions.

“This long-term commitment by the Adani Group establishes one of the world’s most ambitious integrated energy and AI infrastructure platforms ever undertaken at national scale,” the company said in its press release.

“The Adani Group invites global technology companies, sovereign institutions and innovation partners to participate and collaborate in building India’s next-generation AI infrastructure platform.”
