Adani Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates led by billionaire Gautam Adani, plans to invest up to $5 billion in a major new data center project in partnership with Google. The announcement comes from Adani Group Chief Financial Officer Jugeshinder Singh, who revealed that discussions are ongoing as the company aims to accelerate India’s role in the fast-growing global AI infrastructure market.
The investment will support the creation of India’s largest artificial intelligence data center campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The project, developed through AdaniConneX—a joint venture with Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company—highlights the rapid expansion of the country’s digital economy and growing demand for advanced data processing capabilities.
This move follows a recent wave of significant investments in India’s data center industry. Digital Connexion, a joint venture of Reliance Industries, this week announced an $11 billion commitment to new data centers in Visakhapatnam. Meanwhile, Tata Consultancy Services secured $1 billion in funding from TPG Inc. to advance its own digital infrastructure projects.
Industry analysts estimate that India’s data center market could attract over $100 billion in investments by 2027, positioning the country as a critical player in the global AI and cloud computing landscape. This influx of capital reflects a worldwide push by governments and corporations to scale up data infrastructure in response to the rising influence of artificial intelligence.
With the backing of tech giants like Google and the participation of India’s biggest business leaders, the country’s data center sector looks set for dynamic growth. As these projects take shape, they promise to strengthen India’s digital backbone and support innovation for years to come.
