Billionaire Gautam Adan-led Adani Group on Tuesday, February 17, announced a direct investment of $100 billion to develop renewable-energy-powered, hyperscale data centres for artificial intelligence (AI) by 2035. Together, this is projected to create a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the decade, Adani Enterprises said in a regulatory filing on February 17. This roadmap builds on AdaniConnex’s existing 2 GW national data centre, with a target to reach 5 GW. Adani is working in partnerships with Google to establish the nation’s largest gigawatt scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, alongside additional campuses in Noida, and with Microsoft in Hyderabad and Pune. The Group said that it will also deepen its data centre partnership with Flipkart, advancing the collaboration toward the development of a second AI data centre purpose built to support Flipkart’s next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads.
