Adani Group to Invest Over $10 Billion in Massive Data Center Expansion Across India

In a major push to tap into India’s booming digital infrastructure demand, the Adani Group is preparing to invest more than $10 billion to develop large-scale data centers in the country, according to a Bloomberg report. The move reflects the conglomerate’s growing interest in artificial intelligence and digital services.

Potential sites identified for this ambitious project include Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. The plan is to build two mega data centers with approximately 1 gigawatt (GW) capacity each, and land acquisition processes are currently underway.

The ultimate goal, sources say, is to expand the Adani Group’s data center portfolio to a staggering 10 GW in the long run.

In Maharashtra alone, Adani is investing about $5.9 billion in digital infrastructure development. The company sees significant future potential in serving foreign governments and global tech clients.

Adani Enterprises has already partnered with Sweden-based EQT’s EdgeConnex Inc in a 50:50 joint venture known as AdaniConnex Pvt Ltd. This venture currently operates a data center in Chennai and is constructing more facilities in Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad.

As part of its funding strategy, the Adani Group is reportedly in talks with several international banks to secure an offshore loan ranging from $1.2 to $1.4 billion. A final decision on the transaction is expected soon.

India is witnessing a surge in demand for data centers due to the rapid growth of global capability centers (GCCs), cloud computing, and AI applications. While the largest data hubs globally are in the US with significantly higher capacity, Indian data centers are catching up fast, currently having sub-1 GW facilities.

With this expansion, Adani aims to position itself as a key player in India’s evolving digital infrastructure landscape.
