In a move that signals a massive shift in India’s digital landscape, the Adani Group has announced a monumental $100 billion investment plan. The goal? To build AI-focused data centers across India by 2035, powered entirely by renewable energy.
This initiative isn’t just about storage; it’s about “Technological Sovereignty.” As Chairman Gautam Adani stated, “India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age.”
The Vision: A $250 Billion AI Ecosystem
The investment is projected to be a catalyst for the entire Indian economy. Over the next decade, this move is expected to:
- Generate $150 billion in related industries.
- Create a total of $250 billion in AI infrastructure across the country.
- Position India as a global leader in AI processing and data sovereignty.

Strategic Partnerships: Google, Microsoft, and Beyond
AdaniConnex, the group’s data center arm, is already making moves with global tech giants to bring this vision to life:
- Visakhapatnam: Partnering with Google for cutting-edge cloud and AI facilities.
- Hyderabad & Pune: Collaborative projects with Microsoft.
- E-commerce Integration: Extending partnerships with Flipkart to enhance AI-driven logistics and e-commerce capabilities.
Why “Green” AI Matters
AI data centers are notorious for their high electricity consumption. By powering these 5 GW facilities with renewable energy, Adani is solving the sustainability challenge that many global tech firms are currently struggling with. This makes India a highly attractive hub for “Clean AI” processing.
The Bottom Line
For India, this investment represents a move away from being just a back-office for global tech and toward becoming the backbone of the global AI economy. By owning the infrastructure and the energy that powers it, the Adani Group is betting big on a self-reliant, digital India.
