Adani Enterprises said on Tuesday it will deploy $100 billion to develop AI-ready data centers powered by renewable energy, with the work planned through 2035. The company said the initiative is intended to establish the world’s largest integrated data center platform and to position India as a leader in the global AI race.
According to Adani, the $100 billion commitment is expected to catalyze another $150 billion in spending across related industries over the coming decade. The company specifically cited sovereign cloud platforms and server manufacturing among the sectors that would see increased activity as a result of the program.
Taken together, Adani said the direct investment and the projected ancillary spending would contribute to the formation of a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the next decade. The company framed the plan as an expansion of its existing businesses in data centers and green energy into a broader technology stack.
Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, provided a statement on the plan, saying, "At Adani, we are building on our foundation in data centres and green energy to expand into the complete five-layer AI stack focused on India’s technological sovereignty," stressing the firms intent to leverage its current capabilities as it grows into adjacent AI infrastructure layers.
The announcement sets out the companys financial targets for data center development and describes the expected ripple effects across infrastructure and manufacturing related to AI and cloud services. The company attributed the $150 billion estimate to spending that would occur across industries that support or complement the planned data center platform.
No operational timelines beyond the 2035 target year were provided in the statement, and the company described the ancillary spending figures as projections tied to the investment program. The disclosure emphasized the scale of the plan and its intended role in building an AI-focused infrastructure ecosystem in India.
