Adani’s $100 billion AI power play

Adani Enterprises plans to invest $100 billion by 2035 to build renewable energy-powered, AI-ready data centres across India. Adani Ent gained more than 2% following the newsbreak. 

In simple terms, Adani wants to build massive data centres that run on green energy and are powerful enough to train and run advanced AI models. 

Breaking it down: this $100 billion investment could trigger another $150 billion in related tech and cloud industries.

The roadmap builds on Adani Connex’s existing 2 GW capacity, expanding toward a 5 GW deployment

For context, gigawatt-scale capacity is usually associated with power plants, not data centres. This signals hyperscale ambition.

Unlike traditional data centres that rely heavily on fossil-fuel grids, these facilities will be backed by Adani’s renewable energy assets like solar, wind and transmission networks.

Global partnerships: Google plans to invest $15 billion over five years for an AI data centre in Andhra Pradesh. Campuses are planned in Visakhapatnam, Noida, Hyderabad and Pune with partners like Google and Microsoft.

Adani is also deepening ties with Flipkart to build AI infrastructure for next-gen digital commerce and high-performance computing.

Zoom out: the timing is key. As AI adoption explodes globally, countries are racing to build sovereign compute capacity. India’s data centre market is already booming, and AI workloads are accelerating that demand.
