The Adani Group is reportedly in preliminary discussions with major global technology companies, including Meta, Google, and Walmart owned by Flipkart for potential partnerships in the data centre sector, as part of its broader push into digital infrastructure.
According to reports, the group is actively evaluating multiple locations across Indian states to set up new hyperscale data centres. This initiative is a key component of Gautam Adani’s planned $100 billion investment into digital infrastructure, aimed at building capacity for future technology demand.
The Adani Group is positioning itself as a full stack infrastructure provider by offering both land and renewable energy solutions required to power data centres. These facilities are critical for supporting global artificial intelligence and cloud computing services, which are driving increasing demand for large scale, energy intensive infrastructure.
The current talks are at an early stage and represent a new phase of potential investment, separate from earlier agreements. At present, specific sites for the proposed data centres have not been finalised.
As per reports, the developments highlight growing competition in India’s data centre sector, driven by the country’s expanding digital economy and availability of land. Reliance Industries has committed $11 billion towards data centre development in Visakhapatnam through its Digital Connexion venture, while Tata Consultancy Services has secured $1 billion in funding from TPG to accelerate its infrastructure plans.
Multinational companies are also increasing their investments in India. Amazon has committed $12.7 billion towards cloud infrastructure by 2030, and OpenAI is reportedly exploring plans to establish a one gigawatt data centre in the country, further intensifying competition in the space.
