Adani Group said it plans to invest $100 billion in hyperscale, renewable data centers across India by 2035, targeting 5 GW and a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem, including related industries.
Adani Group said the investment will support the development of renewable energy-powered, AI-ready data center capacity across the country. Chairman Gautam Adani described the initiative as part of a broader effort to align energy and computing infrastructure, which could help India play a leading role in the global artificial intelligence economy.
The roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW national data center platform and aims to expand capacity to 5 GW by 2035. The company has partnered with Google to develop a gigawatt-scale AI data center campus in Visakhapatnam, in addition to additional campuses in Noida, and is working with Microsoft on projects in Hyderabad and Pune. Discussions are also underway with other technology companies for further large-scale developments.

The event will spotlight how solar and energy storage solutions are powering sustainable and reliable infrastructure, with a particular focus on powering the country’s fast-growing data center sector.
Adani said the planned 5GW rollout would create what it described as the world’s largest integrated data center platform, combining renewable generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI computing within one coordinated framework.
The energy supply for the data centers is expected to mainly come from Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda sustainable project, of which more than 10 GW is already operational. The group also plans to invest a further $55 billion to expand its renewable portfolio, including large-scale battery energy storage systems.
The strategy includes strengthening transmission networks and network systems to support in-demand AI workloads, as well as expanding cable landing stations – including at Adani-operated ports – to ensure low-latency global connectivity to markets in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia.
To reduce exposure to global supply chain volatility, Adani said it will co-invest in domestic manufacturing partnerships for critical components such as high-capacity transformers, advanced power electronics, networking systems, inverters and thermal management solutions.
