Adani Group to invest $100b in AI-powered renewable energy data centres by 2035
Data centre capacity will expand to 5 GW by 2035.
The Adani Group has announced a $100b investment to build renewable-energy-powered and hyperscale AI-ready data centres across India by 2035.
The project is expected to generate an additional $150b in server manufacturing, cloud platforms, and related industries, creating a $250b AI 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.”
The plan builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW national data centre network, targeting a 5 GW capacity. Key partnerships include Google, which is developing India’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, along with additional campuses in Noida; Microsoft, which is establishing AI campuses in Hyderabad and Pune; and Flipkart, which is co-developing a purpose-built AI data centre to support next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing, and large-scale AI workloads.
The 5 GW platform will integrate renewable power, transmission infrastructure, and hyperscale AI compute. It will support Indian Large Language Models (LLMs), ensure data sovereignty, and offer carbon-neutral, low-cost power.
Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project is central to the plan, with over 10 GW operational and $55b earmarked for expanding renewable energy and battery storage.
To secure supply chains, the group will also co-invest in domestic manufacturing of transformers, inverters, and advanced power systems.
The initiative also reserves GPU capacity for Indian AI startups and research institutions and will establish AI engineering curricula and research labs to address the skills gap.
