Adani pledges $100B to build AI data centers as India seeks bigger role in the global AI race | TechCrunch
"Adani is making this commitment against a backdrop of skyrocketing investments in AI infrastructure as companies increasingly look beyond the U.S. for computing power, energy and friendly regulation. India, with its expanding digital economy and growing renewable-energy capacity, has emerged as a major destination for data centers and AI-related infrastructure over the past couple of years."
"Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani (pictured above) described the plan as a long-term bet on the convergence of energy and computing. "India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age," he said, adding that the group aims to help build a domestic AI infrastructure base. The plan is to build atop Adani's own existing data-center platform and its partnerships with companies like Google and Microsoft."
Adani Group will invest $100 billion through 2035 to build renewable-energy-powered data centers specialized for AI across India. The investment targets AI workloads and is expected to catalyze an additional $150 billion in related investments, creating a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem over the decade. Planned campuses include Visakhapatnam and Noida, with further sites in Hyderabad and Pune, and expanded partnerships involving Google, Microsoft and Flipkart. The broader deployment aims for up to 5 gigawatts of data-center capacity. The initiative aligns with rising global AI infrastructure investment and leverages India's digital growth and expanding renewable-energy capacity.
