The announcement reflects India’s broader ambition to position itself as a major technology hub rather than a passive consumer of AI tools
India’s Adani Group said on Tuesday it plans to invest $100 billion over the next decade to build renewable energy-powered, AI-ready data centers, as the country seeks to strengthen its position in the global artificial intelligence race.
The conglomerate said the initiative, targeted for completion by 2035, aims to create what it described as the world’s largest integrated data center platform and could generate a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India.
“The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution,” Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, said in a statement.
“India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future,” he added.
The announcement underscores intensifying global competition to develop computing infrastructure capable of supporting advanced AI workloads, which require vast amounts of power and data capacity. India has been stepping up efforts to attract investment into digital infrastructure as governments and corporations race to secure leadership in next-generation technologies.
Shares of Adani Enterprises, the group’s flagship company, rose about 2.5% following the announcement, placing it among the top gainers on the benchmark Nifty 50 index. Shares of Adani Green Energy were last up roughly 1.8%.
