Adani Group has unveiled a significant investment initiative in AI-ready data centre infrastructure during the second day of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, which commenced on February 16 and will continue through February 20.
The company announced plans to invest $100 billion (approximately ₹9,07,300 crore) by 2035 to establish renewable energy-powered hyperscale data centres. The rollout is expected to take place over the next decade, with the investment positioned as a strategic contribution to India’s broader ambition of strengthening its domestic AI infrastructure ecosystem.
Adani Group has partnered with Google, Microsoft, and Flipkart to advance next-generation AI-focused data centre initiatives.
In a press release issued on Monday, the company confirmed that the proposed investment will significantly enhance its data centre capacity and help establish what it termed a sovereign energy and compute platform for India. The group further stated that the programme could catalyse an additional $150 billion (approximately ₹13,61,100 crore) in associated investments by 2035, spanning areas such as server manufacturing, electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms, and other supporting industries.
AdaniConneX’s existing 2GW national data centre platform is set to scale up to 5GW over the coming decade. The company stated that it is collaborating with Google to build a large AI-focused data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, along with additional facilities in Noida. It also highlighted partnerships with Microsoft for data centre projects in Hyderabad and Pune.
The partnership with Flipkart will be expanded to establish a second high-performance AI data centre designed to support digital commerce and large-scale computing requirements. According to the company, the expansion will integrate renewable power generation, transmission networks, and AI computing capacity into a unified system. The facilities are expected to handle high-density compute clusters and next-generation AI workloads, supported by advanced cooling technologies and energy-efficient power systems.
Adani Group also announced plans to co-invest in domestic manufacturing partnerships for critical infrastructure components, including transformers, power electronics, grid systems, inverters, and thermal management solutions, aiming to mitigate supply chain risks. Additionally, the group intends to collaborate with academic institutions to launch specialised AI infrastructure engineering programmes, establish applied research labs focused on energy and logistics, and introduce a national fellowship initiative to address future talent requirements.
The company further stated that a portion of its computing capacity will be reserved for Indian AI startups, research organisations, and deep-tech enterprises. It also emphasised support for Indian large language models (LLMs) and national data initiatives as part of its broader AI infrastructure strategy.
Moreover, the group has aligned its data centre roadmap with its renewable energy portfolio, including Adani Green Energy’s Khavda project, which has a planned capacity of 30GW, with over 10GW already operational. The company added that it will invest an additional $55 billion (approximately ₹4,99,000 crore) to further expand renewable power generation and battery energy storage systems.
