AdaniConnex: Expanding India’s Data Centre Capabilities

Building on AdaniConnex's existing 2 GW national data centre, the roadmap expands toward a 5 GW target, positioning India at the centre of the global AI economy. Key collaborations with Google and Microsoft are critical to this growth. The Group is partnering with Google to create the nation’s largest gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, with additional campuses planned for Noida and discussions underway for further campuses across India.

Vision for World’s Largest Integrated Data Centre Platform

In line with this vision, Adani Group is also strengthening its data centre partnership with Flipkart. This collaboration will build a second AI data centre designed to support Flipkart’s digital commerce, high-performance computing, and AI workloads.

The 5 GW deployment will create the world’s largest integrated data centre platform, combining renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure, and hyperscale AI computing. This unified approach will be optimised for high-density compute clusters, next-gen AI workloads, and cutting-edge liquid cooling systems. The initiative is designed to ensure data sovereignty by supporting Indian Large Language Models (LLMs) and national data initiatives.

Renewable Energy and Grid Resilience at the Core

As global AI workloads become increasingly energy-intensive, the Adani Group is uniquely positioned to provide the competitively priced, carbon-neutral power essential for this transition.  Central to this strategy is Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project, with over 10 GW already operational. The Group is also investing $55 billion to expand its renewable energy portfolio, which includes one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Additionally, Adani Group is building strategic connectivity through cable landing stations at its port network, ensuring low-latency global integration with key regions, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

A Vision for India’s AI Ecosystem

The Group’s AI-based industry cloud, which manages millions of renewable assets in real-time, provides a blueprint for significant internal compute expansion. Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti programme, the Group is embedding AI across its logistics, ports, and industrial corridors, enhancing efficiency and ensuring data sovereignty.

India’s Five-Layer AI Architecture

The Adani Group will also actively contribute to India’s five-layer AI architecture (Applications, Models, Chips, Energy, and Data Centres). It will reserve a significant portion of GPU capacity for Indian AI startups, research institutions, and deep-tech entrepreneurs, helping to alleviate compute scarcity and foster domestic innovation.

Stock Market Reaction: Adani Group Stocks See Gains
