Summary:
On February 17, 2026, the Adani Group announced a USD 100 billion plan to build renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035, aiming to position India at the forefront of the global Intelligence Revolution by integrating clean energy with large-scale computing infrastructure. Expanding its existing 2 GW platform through AdaniConnex to a 5 GW target, the Group plans to create what it describes as the world’s largest integrated energy-and-compute ecosystem, supported by partnerships with Google, Microsoft, and Flipkart. The initiative is expected to catalyse an additional USD 150 billion in related industries, forming a projected USD 250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India, while strengthening data sovereignty, domestic manufacturing, renewable energy capacity—including Adani Green Energy’s Khavda project—and national AI capabilities across the full technology stack.
On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, the Adani Group unveiled plans to invest USD 100 billion to build renewable-energy-driven, hyperscale AI-enabled data centres by 2035—describing the move as among the largest integrated energy-and-computing initiatives globally. The strategy aims to place India at the leading edge of the emerging global “Intelligence Revolution” by pairing clean power production with expansive artificial intelligence computing capacity.
The conglomerate stated that the commitment is projected to unlock an additional USD 150 billion across server production, advanced electrical systems, sovereign cloud infrastructure, and related sectors—culminating in a USD 250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the coming decade.
This blueprint builds upon the Group’s existing 2 GW nationwide data centre platform operated through AdaniConnex, with ambitions to expand capacity to 5 GW. The company characterized the proposed rollout as the world’s largest fully integrated data centre platform, unifying renewable power generation, transmission networks, and hyperscale AI computing within a single, coordinated framework.
Central partnerships driving the expansion include collaborations with Google to develop a gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, along with additional capacity in Noida, and with Microsoft for facilities spanning Hyderabad and Pune. The Group is also strengthening its collaboration with Flipkart to construct a second AI-focused data centre designed specifically for next-generation digital commerce and high-performance computing demands.
By 2035, the investment is expected to stimulate an additional USD 150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud ecosystems, and supporting industries—collectively forming a projected USD 250 billion AI infrastructure landscape in India over the decade.
“The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more transformative than any previous Industrial Revolution,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group. “Countries that successfully align energy and compute will define the decade ahead. India holds a distinct advantage. At Adani, we are extending our strengths in data centres and green energy to develop the full five-layer AI stack focused on India’s technological sovereignty. India will not merely consume AI—we will create it, build it, and export it. We are proud to contribute to that future.”
The roadmap extends AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW footprint toward a 5 GW objective, positioning India at the heart of the global AI economy. This ambition is anchored by landmark collaborations with Google to build the country’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft across Hyderabad and Pune. The Group is also engaging with other major industry players seeking to establish large-scale campuses nationwide, reinforcing its role as India’s leading AI infrastructure partner.
Aligned with this direction, the Group will further expand its data centre partnership with Flipkart, advancing plans for a second purpose-built AI facility to support Flipkart’s next-generation digital commerce platforms, high-performance computing needs, and large-scale AI workloads.
The 5 GW rollout is intended to establish the world’s largest integrated data centre platform, merging renewable generation, transmission infrastructure, and hyperscale AI computing within a single synchronized architecture. Unlike conventional expansions, the initiative is structured as a cohesive energy-and-compute ecosystem, where power generation, grid resilience, and dense processing capacity evolve simultaneously.
These facilities will be engineered for high-density compute clusters and advanced AI workloads, supported by state-of-the-art liquid cooling and energy-efficient power systems. Dedicated computing resources will back Indian Large Language Models (LLMs) and national data programs, reinforcing long-term data sovereignty. Robust transmission infrastructure and modern grid technologies will support stability, scalability, and uptime at hyperscale.
As AI workloads worldwide grow increasingly power-intensive, the Adani Group is positioned to supply competitively priced, carbon-neutral energy to meet this demand. A cornerstone of this strategy is Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project, with over 10 GW already operational. Additionally, the Group plans to invest another USD 55 billion to expand its renewable portfolio, including one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Strategic connectivity via cable landing stations—integrated with Adani’s port network—will provide low-latency links to the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, ensuring seamless global integration.
To mitigate global supply chain risks, the Group will also co-invest in domestic manufacturing partnerships for critical infrastructure components such as high-capacity transformers, advanced power electronics, grid technologies, inverters, and industrial thermal management systems.
Through this strategy, India is positioned not just as a data hub, but as a manufacturer and exporter of next-generation intelligence and computing infrastructure.
Leveraging its AI-driven industry cloud, which already manages millions of renewable assets in real time, the Adani Group is creating a digital blueprint for substantial internal compute expansion. In alignment with the PM Gati Shakti program, the Group is embedding agentic AI across its logistics networks, ports, and industrial corridors to enable highly efficient, intelligent operations. This integration modernizes national infrastructure while safeguarding data sovereignty and bridging heavy industry with secure, intelligent automation.
Consistent with India’s five-layer AI architecture—Applications, Models, Chips, Energy, and Data Centres—the Group will actively collaborate across the entire stack. A meaningful share of GPU capacity will be allocated to Indian AI startups, research institutions, and deep-tech entrepreneurs, addressing compute shortages and nurturing a robust domestic innovation ecosystem.
In partnership with leading academic institutions, the Adani Group will introduce specialized AI Infrastructure Engineering programs, applied AI research labs focused on energy and logistics, and a national fellowship initiative to close the growing skills gap.
This long-term undertaking positions the Adani Group at the forefront of one of the most ambitious integrated energy and AI infrastructure platforms ever launched at a national scale. The Group is inviting global technology firms, sovereign entities, and innovation partners to join in building India’s next-generation AI infrastructure ecosystem.
