Adani Group unveils $100 billion AI energy plan

The Adani Group has announced one of the world’s largest integrated energy-compute commitments, a direct investment of $100 billion to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035.

The initiative is designed as a long-term energy and compute platform that will support India’s industrial and logistics sectors, including strategic integration with Adani’s port network and smart supply-chain corridors.

By 2035, the investment is expected to catalyse an additional $150 billion across server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms, and supporting industries, creating a $250 billion AI and industrial technology ecosystem in India.

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, said: “The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution.

“Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead. At Adani, we are building on our foundation in data centres and green energy to expand into the complete five-layer AI stack focused on India’s technological sovereignty.

“India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future.”

This roadmap builds on AdaniConnex‘s existing 2 gigawatts (GW) national data centre, expanding towards a 5 GW target that positions India at the epicentre of the global AI economy.

This vision is anchored by landmark partnerships with Google to establish the nation’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft spanning Hyderabad and Pune.

The Adani Group is also in discussion with other major players seeking to establish large-scale campuses across India, thereby further cementing its position as India’s premier AI infrastructure partner.

In line with this vision, the Group will also deepen its data centre partnership with Flipkart, advancing the collaboration towards the development of a second AI data centre purpose-built to support Flipkart‘s next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads.

As AI workloads grow increasingly energy-intensive, the Adani Group is positioned to provide competitively priced, carbon-neutral power to support industrial and port operations.

At the core of this strategy is Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project, with over 10 GW already operational, and a further $55 billion planned to expand renewable energy capacity, 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 ensure low-latency global links across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, supporting high-performance digital and logistics infrastructure.

At last year’s TECHRITORY Conference in Riga, Latvia, industry leaders examined how regulation, technology and collaboration are shaping the digital transformation of Europe’s ports.
