India’s Adani Group said on Tuesday it will invest $100 billion in the development of renewable energy-powered, AI-ready data centers by 2035.
Adani's $250 Billion AI Data Center Vision
The investment is part of a broader plan to build the world's largest integrated data center platform.
Chairman Gautam Adani estimated the investment to generate an additional $150 billion by 2035 across server manufacturing, advanced infrastructure, cloud platforms, and related industries, creating a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the decade.
Adani’s plans are backed by a strategic partnership with Alphabet‘s Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT). The company is also in discussions with other major players to set up massive campuses across India.
The announcement was made during India’s AI Impact Summit, a five-day event that started on Monday in New Delhi and features global leaders and technology executives such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.
India Becomes Hotspot for AI Investment
This announcement follows a series of significant investments in India’s tech industry. In November, Adani Group revealed a $5 billion investment in Google’s upcoming AI infrastructure hub in southern India. Furthermore, in December, Microsoft unveiled a record $17.5 billion investment in India following a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Notably, in July 2025, Google announced plans for a $6 billion data center in India, its largest in Asia.
Not just the Mag 7 companies, but start-ups like OpenAI and Anthropic are banking on India. Altman sees India as a potential "full-stack AI leader" and is strengthening the company's presence and government connections there. Meanwhile, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that its India revenue run-rate doubled over the past four months, as the AI start-up opened its first India office in Bengaluru.
