AHMEDABAD, India – Adani Enterprises Ltd. unveiled a massive $100 billion investment strategy on Tuesday, aimed at constructing a sprawling network of AI-ready data centers powered by renewable energy. The initiative represents one of the world’s most ambitious bets on the intersection of green energy and digital infrastructure, as the Indian conglomerate seeks to position the country as a global powerhouse in the intelligence economy.
The investment, slated to be deployed by 2035, is expected to act as a catalyst for an additional $150 billion in spending across related sectors, including server manufacturing and sovereign cloud computing platforms. According to company statements, the project aims to create a comprehensive AI infrastructure ecosystem in India worth an estimated $250 billion over the next decade. This "five-layer" integrated architecture focuses on securing India's technological sovereignty, reducing reliance on foreign data hosting while leveraging the group’s massive green energy portfolio.
"We are building on our established foundation in data centers and clean energy to scale an integrated AI infrastructure," said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group. The strategy hinges on the group's ability to provide the high-density power required for generative AI workloads using its own wind and solar capacities, a vertical integration that could offer significant cost advantages over competitors reliant on traditional power grids.
The announcement comes as global tech giants increasingly look to India for growth. In October 2025, Google committed $15 billion toward AI infrastructure in the state of Andhra Pradesh, a move that is expected to funnel approximately $5 billion into AdaniConneX—a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and the U.S.-based EdgeConneX. The conglomerate confirmed it is in ongoing discussions with several other "hyperscalers" to develop massive industrial parks tailored for large-scale language model (LLM) training.
Public markets reacted positively to the news. Shares of Adani Enterprises rose 2.4% on Tuesday, emerging as one of the top gainers on India’s benchmark Nifty 50 index. The rally reflects investor confidence in the group’s pivot toward high-margin digital services, despite the heavy capital expenditure (CapEx) requirements and the long-term horizon of the project.
While the scale of the plan is unprecedented, industry analysts note that the road to 2035 will require navigating complex supply chain challenges for specialized chips and the immense technical difficulty of managing heat loads in tropical data center environments. However, if successful, the Adani Group could transform from a traditional industrial heavyweight into a central pillar of the global AI supply chain, bridging the gap between sustainable energy and the future of computing.
