On February 17, the Adani Enterprises announced an ambitious $100 billion investment to develop renewable energy-powered, AI-ready data centre infrastructure across India by 2035. This is in an aim to position the group at the forefront of the country’s artificial intelligence expansion.
Following the announcement, shares of Adani Enterprises rose 2.6% to Rs 2,242 at 12:45 pm. This ranked them among the top performers on the Nifty 50 index.
The conglomerate said the decade-long investment is expected to catalyse an additional $150 billion across related sectors such as server manufacturing, sovereign cloud platforms, and advanced electrical systems. Together, the company estimates the initiative will help create a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India.
“The initiative will establish a long-term sovereign energy and compute platform designed to position India as a global leader in the emerging Intelligence Revolution,” the company said in a statement.
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani described the move as a strategic step toward strengthening India’s technological independence.

“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,” he said, adding that India is well placed to become a global AI powerhouse. He emphasized that the group is building a comprehensive five-layer AI stack anchored in green energy and data infrastructure to ensure technological sovereignty.
The plan builds on the company’s data centre joint venture, Adani Connex, which currently operates 2 GW of capacity nationwide. The platform is set to scale up to 5 GW, supported by partnerships with global technology leaders including Google and Microsoft. Key projects include a gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, facilities in Noida, and developments in Hyderabad and Pune.
In October, Google announced a $15 billion, five-year investment in an AI data centre in Andhra Pradesh, with up to $5 billion potentially flowing into Adani Connex as part of the collaboration.
Adani Enterprises also said it is in discussions with additional global players to establish large-scale AI campuses across India. The group plans to deepen its partnership with Flipkart to develop a second AI-focused data centre tailored for high-performance computing and next-generation digital commerce.
The proposed 5 GW rollout is designed as an integrated energy-and-compute ecosystem, combining renewable power generation, grid infrastructure, and hyperscale AI processing capacity within a single coordinated framework.
