Mumbai: India’s Adani Group has announced an ambitious plan to invest about 100 billion dollars by 2035 to build renewable energy powered data centres designed to support artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
The project aims to create large scale data centre infrastructure across India to meet rising demand for AI services, data storage and digital platforms. The company plans to expand its data centre capacity from roughly 2 gigawatts to about 5 gigawatts in the coming years, positioning itself among the world’s largest integrated data centre operators.
A major portion of the investment will go into renewable energy generation and battery storage to ensure clean and reliable power for the facilities. The initiative is expected to link green energy production with high performance computing, helping to improve grid stability while supporting energy intensive AI operations.
Industry analysts say the move could trigger significant growth in related sectors such as server manufacturing, cloud services and digital infrastructure. The broader ecosystem created by the investment could attract additional funding and strengthen India’s position in the global AI economy.
The company is also expanding partnerships with global technology firms and digital platforms to support data infrastructure growth. These collaborations aim to develop large data campuses and strengthen cloud and AI capabilities for businesses and public services.
Experts note that while India does not yet have large scale semiconductor manufacturing, building strong data centre capacity offers a strategic pathway to participate in the global artificial intelligence boom. The initiative is expected to enhance digital sovereignty, support innovation and create new employment opportunities.
Following the announcement, shares of Adani Group companies rose, reflecting investor confidence in the long term growth potential of AI driven infrastructure.
The planned investment highlights the growing global race to build computing power and clean energy systems needed for the next generation of digital and artificial intelligence technologies.
