India’s Adani plans to invest $100B in AI-ready data centers

India’s Adani Group committed to invest $100B to develop renewable-energy-powered hyperscale AI-ready data centers by 2035.

The move is aimed at establishing a long-term sovereign energy and compute platform designed to position India as a leader in the emerging intelligence revolution, according to the company led by billionaire Gautam Adani. The initiative is for a 5-gigawatt deployment.

The company noted that the investment is expected to spur, by 2035, an additional $150B in spending across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms, and supporting industries.

The company said the roadmap builds on AdaniConneX’s 2-gigawatt national data center platform and Adani’s strategic partnership with Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google. AdaniConneX, a 50:50 joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, and Google announced in October 2025 that they would invest about $15B over five years to build a data center and AI hub in Visakhapatnam, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

Adani Group added that the vision builds on partnerships with Google to establish India’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data center campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft (MSFT) spanning Hyderabad and Pune.

The company added that it is also in discussion with other major players looking to establish large-scale campuses in India.

The company noted that it will actively participate in partnerships across the full stack but added that a significant portion of GPU capacity will be reserved for Indian AI startups, research institutions, and deep-tech entrepreneurs.

The Adani Group is also expanding its partnership with Walmart (WMT)-owned Flipkart to develop a second AI data center to support Flipkart’s next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing, and large-scale AI workloads.

In addition, the company said that it is committed to investing another $55B to expand its renewable energy portfolio, which will include one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems.

The Asian nation is hosting the India AI Impact Summit, which will run until Feb. 20. Alphabet’s CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI’s (OPENAI) Sam Altman, Anthropic’s (ANTHRO) Dario Amodei, Meta Platforms’ (META) Alexandr Wang, Cloudflare’s (NET) Matthew Prince, Qualcomm’s (QCOM) Cristiano Amon, and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Brad Smith are on the guest list, along with leading AI leaders. AMD’s (AMD) CEO Lisa Su is also scheduled to appear.
