    USD 150 billion intelligence ecosystem over the decade and establish India’s energy-compute backbone for the AI age.

    Editor’s Synopsis

    • USD 100 billion direct investment to build green-energy-powered AI-ready data centre capacity by 2035
    • Expected to catalyse an additional USD 150 billion across manufacturing, servers and sovereign cloud services by 2035
    • Builds on AdaniConneX’s 2 GW national data centre platform and Adani’s strategic partnership with Google
    • Expanded partnership with Flipkart to develop the second high-performance AI data centre
    • Integrated model linking renewable energy, grid resilience and hyperscale AI compute
    • Dedicated high-density compute capacity to support Indian AI startups, research institutions and deep-tech innovation
    • Talent initiatives to build specialised AI infrastructure engineering capability in India

    Ahmedabad, 17 February 2026: The Adani Group today announced one of the world’s largest integrated
    energy-compute commitments, a direct investment of USD 100 billion to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale
    AI-ready data centres by 2035. The initiative will establish a long-term sovereign energy and compute platform
    designed to position India as a global leader in the emerging Intelligence Revolution.

    The investment is expected to catalyse by 2035 an additional USD 150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced
    electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and supporting industries. Together, this is projected to
    create a USD 250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the decade.

    “The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution,” said Mr
    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. 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.”

    This roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW national data centre, expanding toward a 5 GW target that
    positions India at the epicentre of the global AI economy. This vision is anchored by landmark partnerships with
    Google to establish the nation’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional
    campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft spanning Hyderabad and Pune. The Adani Group is also in discussion with other
    major players seeking to establish large scale campuses across India thereby further cementing its position as
    India’s premier AI infrastructure partner.

    In line with this vision, the Group will also deepen its data centre partnership with Flipkart, advancing the
    collaboration toward the development of a second AI data centre purpose-built to support Flipkart’s next-generation
    digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads.

    The World’s Largest Integrated Data Centre Platform

    The 5 GW deployment will create the world’s largest integrated data centre platform, combining renewable power
    generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI compute within a single coordinated architecture. Unlike
    conventional data centre expansions, the program is designed as a unified energy-and-compute ecosystem, where
    generation, grid resilience and high-density processing capacity are developed in parallel.

    Facilities will be optimised for large high-density compute clusters and next-generation AI workloads, supported by
    advanced liquid cooling systems and high-efficiency power architecture. Dedicated compute capacity will support
    Indian Large Language Models (LLMs) and national data initiatives, ensuring long-term data sovereignty. Reliable
    transmission networks and advanced grid systems will underpin the platform, ensuring stability, scalability and
    uptime at hyperscale.

    Leveraging India’s Renewable Advantage

    As global AI workloads become increasingly energy-intensive, the Adani Group is uniquely positioned to provide the
    competitively priced, carbon-neutral power essential for this transition. Central to this strategy is Adani Green
    Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project, of which over 10 GW is already operational. In addition, the Group is committed to
    investing another USD 55 billion to expand its renewable energy portfolio, which will include one of the world’s
    largest battery energy storage systems (BESS).

    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.

    Derisking and Building Aatmanirbhar Supply Chains

    To reduce exposure to global supply-chain volatility, the Adani Group will also co-invest in domestic manufacturing
    partnerships of critical infrastructure components, including high-capacity transformers, advanced power
    electronics, grid systems, inverters and industrial thermal management solutions.

    This approach positions India not only as a data hub but as a producer and exporter of next-generation intelligence
    and compute infrastructure.

    Integrating with National Priorities

    By leveraging its existing AI-based industry cloud which currently manages millions of renewable assets in
    real-time, the Adani Group is establishing a digital blueprint for significant internal compute expansion. Aligned
    with the PM Gati Shakti program, the Group is embedding agentic AI across its logistics, ports and industrial
    corridors to create hyper-efficient, smart operations. This strategic integration not only modernises national
    infrastructure but also ensures data sovereignty, bridging the gap between heavy industry and intelligent, secure
    automation.

    Democratising High-Performance Compute

    In line with India’s five-layer AI architecture (Applications, Models, Chips, Energy and Data Centres), the Group
    will actively participate in partnerships across the full stack. A significant portion of GPU capacity will be
    reserved for Indian AI startups, research institutions and deep-tech entrepreneurs, alleviating compute scarcity and
    fostering a domestic innovation ecosystem.

    Capitalising on India’s Talent

    Working with leading academic institutions, the Adani Group will establish specialised AI Infrastructure Engineering
    curricula, applied AI research labs focused on energy and logistics and a national fellowship program to address the
    growing skills gap.

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