Adani’s ambitious investment strategy involves developing renewable energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centers with a target capacity of 5 GW by 2035. The company has joined forces with Google to establish India’s largest gigawatt-scale data center campus in Visakhapatnam, along with additional campuses in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Furthermore, a collaboration with Microsoft will see the construction of more AI data centers in Hyderabad.
Steven Dickens, CEO and analyst at HyperFrame Research, emphasized the significance of India’s strategic move in meeting the escalating global demand for inference capabilities. He anticipates a continuation of such investments worldwide, particularly in the realm of inference processing. This aligns with Adani’s forward-looking approach to the market.
Adani’s comprehensive investment plan is projected to stimulate an additional $150 billion in expenditure on server manufacturing, advanced electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud services, and related industries.
Chairman of the Adani Group, Gautam Adani, emphasized the pivotal role of energy-efficient computing in shaping the future landscape. He envisions India not merely as a consumer but as a leading innovator and exporter of intelligent technology.
Sanskar Gahlaut, CTO at Bhartiya Robotics, hailed Adani’s initiative as a transformative shift towards enhancing national infrastructure resilience in the AI domain. He highlighted the broader implications of this strategic move for India’s standing as a global AI hub.
A Green Advantage
Adani’s commitment to sustainability aligns with India’s ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030.
The company’s data center projects are poised to operate entirely on renewable energy sources, leveraging its extensive renewable energy assets. An additional $55 billion investment will bolster its green energy portfolio, including the development of one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems.
Adani’s ongoing Khavada project, a massive renewable energy park in Gujarat’s Kutch district, is set to generate 30 GW of capacity by 2030, utilizing a hybrid solar and wind energy model.
India surpassed its 50% non-fossil fuel capacity goal in 2025, outpacing earlier projections. In contrast, renewable energy accounts for about 26% of total generation in the United States, with potential setbacks due to policy changes favoring natural gas production.
An Integrated Data Center Platform
Adani’s 5 GW initiative aims to establish the world’s largest integrated platform, merging renewable energy generation, transmission infrastructure, and AI computing into a cohesive architectural framework. This unified ecosystem prioritizes grid resilience, high-density processing, and sustainable energy generation.
Technology analyst Sarbjeet Johnal commended India’s proactive stance in fortifying its AI infrastructure, underscoring the critical importance of such developments in the evolving technological landscape.
