Ahmedabad: Adani Group announced a $100 billion investment plan through 2035 to build renewable energy powered AI data centres (artificial intelligence infrastructure) across India.
The initiative to develop renewable energy powered AI data centres represents one of the country’s largest private commitments to digital infrastructure and AI computing capacity.
The diversified conglomerate said the investment in renewable energy powered AI data centres is expected to catalyse an additional $150 billion in related investments across servers, sovereign cloud platforms, advanced electrical systems, and supporting infrastructure. Together, these developments are projected to create a $250 billion AI ecosystem in India.
The expansion plan will scale AdaniConnex’s national capacity from 2 gigawatts (GW) to 5 GW across multiple campuses.
The platform for renewable energy powered AI data centres is designed to integrate renewable power generation, grid resilience, and high-density AI computing infrastructure within a unified architecture.

As part of this strategy, the group is partnering with Alphabet’s Google to develop a gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Additional renewable energy powered AI data centres campuses are being developed in Noida in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR).
The Adani Group is also collaborating with Microsoft on projects in Hyderabad and Pune, while discussions with other global technology firms are underway to establish additional renewable energy powered AI data centres campuses across India.
Renewable Energy Powered AI Data Centres: Anchored by Adani Green Energy
Chairman Gautam Adani said, “Nations that integrate energy and computing capacity would define the next phase of technological growth.”
The renewable energy backbone for these AI data centres will be anchored by Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project in Gujarat, of which more than 10 GW is already operational.
The group has also committed an additional $55 billion to expand its renewable energy portfolio, including large-scale battery energy storage systems supporting Renewable-Powered AI Data Centres operations.

According to the company, the renewable energy powered AI data centres will incorporate advanced liquid cooling systems, high-efficiency power design, and dedicated capacity for Indian large language models and national data initiatives to support data sovereignty.
A portion of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) capacity will be reserved for Indian AI start-ups, research institutions, and deep-technology innovators using Renewable-Powered AI Data Centres infrastructure.
The initiative aims to establish a sovereign energy and computing backbone for India’s digital economy through large-scale deployment of renewable energy powered AI data centres integrated with renewable power generation.
