Billionaire Gautam Adani-led Adani Group has announced an ambitious plan to invest up to $100 billion over the next decade to build integrated, renewable-energy-powered artificial intelligence (AI) data centres across India. The initiative aims to create what the group describes as a “sovereign energy and compute platform,” positioning the country as a global exporter of digital intelligence rather than merely a consumer of technology.
According to the company, the project could also trigger an additional $150 billion in investments across related sectors such as server manufacturing, sovereign cloud services and advanced electrical infrastructure, taking the overall economic impact to nearly $250 billion over ten years.
Unlike traditional data-centre development models, Adani’s strategy integrates clean power generation with high-density computing infrastructure. The group plans to expand its AdaniConneX platform from 2 gigawatts (GW) to 5 GW capacity, potentially making it the world’s largest integrated data-centre platform. The computing clusters will be supported by Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda renewable energy project.
In addition, around $55 billion will be invested in expanding renewable energy capacity and building one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems to ensure uninterrupted power supply for AI computing operations.
The expansion is backed by major global technology partnerships. Adani has tied up with Google to develop a large-scale AI data-centre campus in Visakhapatnam, while Microsoft will collaborate on AI facilities in Hyderabad and Pune.
The company believes the initiative will strengthen India’s digital sovereignty, enhance domestic cloud capabilities and accelerate the country’s transition into a global hub for advanced computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
