Gautam Adani
Adani Group said on February 17 that the group will invest $ 100 billion, or about Rs 9 lakh crore, to build AI-ready data centers running on renewable energy by 2035. The company said that this investment is expected to generate additional spending of about $ 150 billion in the next decade in many related sectors including indigenous cloud platform and server manufacturing. The company further said that this investment by Adani will create an AI infrastructure ecosystem worth $250 billion in India in a decade.
Under this initiative, a long-term indigenous energy and computing platform will be created, the objective of which is to make India a global leader in the emerging AI revolution. This investment is expected to spur additional investment of $150 billion in server manufacturing, advanced power infrastructure, indigenous cloud platforms and supporting industries by 2035. It is estimated that this will create an AI infrastructure system worth $250 billion in India in the next ten years.
India will be ahead in AI
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said that the world is now entering a new AI revolution, which is deeper and more impactful than any previous industrial revolution. The countries which will be able to combine energy and computing will decide the direction of the next decade. India is in a strong position to stay ahead in this race.
This roadmap is based on Adani Connex’s existing 2 GW national data center network and aims to expand it to 5 GW, thereby putting India at the center of the global AI economy. This vision is strengthened by our partnership with Google to build the country’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data center campus in Visakhapatnam and the development of an additional campus in Noida. Besides, the partnership with Microsoft in Hyderabad and Pune is also an important part of this.
Adani Group’s role in creating AI hub
Adani Group also said that it is in talks with other major companies interested in building large-scale campuses in India, which will further strengthen India’s role as an AI infrastructure hub. Further strengthening its data center partnership with Flipkart, the group will work on building a second AI data center purpose-built to support next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing and large AI workloads.
This 5 GW project aims to build the world’s largest integrated data center platform, which will integrate renewable power production, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI computing. According to the company, unlike traditional data center expansion, this program is designed as a combined energy-and-compute system, where power generation, grid stability and high-density processing capacity will be developed simultaneously.
