World is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution; says Gautam Adani.

NEW DELHI: The Adani Group unveiled plans to invest USD 100 billion by 2035 to build renewable energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centres, describing the initiative as a sovereign energy-and-compute platform designed to position India as a global technology hub.

The conglomerate said the project could catalyse an additional USD 150 billion in investments across server manufacturing, electrical infrastructure, sovereign cloud platforms and related sectors, potentially creating a $250 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure ecosystem over the next decade.

“The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group.

“Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead,” he added.

Adani said the group plans to expand from its existing base in data centres and green energy into a fully integrated five-layer AI stack focused on advancing India’s technological sovereignty. As part of that strategy, the company will broaden its collaboration with Flipkart to develop a second AI-focused facility aimed at supporting digital commerce platforms and high-performance computing workloads.

According to the company, the proposed 5-gigawatt deployment would integrate renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale computing within a unified architecture — a model it says will ensure reliable, sustainable and scalable compute capacity.

The group said it is inviting global technology firms and institutions to collaborate on the platform, which it described as one of its most ambitious national-scale infrastructure undertakings to date.

If executed as planned, the initiative would mark one of the largest investments globally in AI-linked digital infrastructure, underscoring India’s growing ambitions in next-generation technology and clean energy integration.
