Key Questions Answered

Adani Enterprises and US-based manufacturing firm Jabil have signed a non-binding agreement to establish a 50:50 joint venture that manufactures artificial intelligence and data centre equipment in India. The proposed platform will build multi-gigawatt infrastructure, producing AI racks, servers, storage, networking equipment, power distribution systems, liquid-cooling equipment, and transformers to serve domestic and global markets.

India's data centre capacity is projected to reach between 5 and 8 gigawatts by 2030, driven by cloud expansion, artificial intelligence adoption, and data localisation requirements. This growth is supported by more than USD 50 billion in planned hyperscaler spending across data centre, cloud, and AI ecosystems.

The Adani Group has committed USD 100 billion to develop 5 gigawatts of green-energy-powered, AI-ready data centre capacity by 2035. This initiative expands the group's presence beyond energy supply and data centre development into manufacturing the critical hardware that powers AI computing.
