"Giant Indian industrial conglomerate Adani has said it will spend up to $100 billion on AI datacenters to equip the nation with sovereign infrastructure, but will do so at slower pace than Big Tech tech companies plan to bring their own bit barns to Bharat. The organization yesterday announced its plan to spend the cash on 5 GW worth of "renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready datacenters" and gave itself the deadline of the year 2035 to get it done."
"But $100 billion over nine years is a modest and slow plan compared to the $635 billion Amazon, Google, Meta, say they'll spend on AI infrastructure in 2026 alone. AWS, Google and Microsoft have also promised to spend $67 billion on AI infrastructure in India over the next few years. The company expects the datacenters will host compute capacity dedicated to Indian-language LLMs and "national data initiatives.""
Adani announced a plan to invest up to $100 billion to develop 5 GW of renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready datacenters with a 2035 completion target. The program will prioritize large, high-density compute clusters, advanced liquid cooling, and high-efficiency power architecture to support next-generation AI workloads. The datacenters are intended to host compute for Indian-language LLMs and national data initiatives. The plan remains slower and smaller in scale compared with Big Tech commitments, including a $635 billion figure for 2026 and a combined $67 billion pledged for India by major cloud providers. Land for facilities is not yet secured.
