Building the world’s largest integrated data centre platform
The roadmap builds on AdaniConneX’s existing 2 GW national data centre platform, with plans to expand to 5 GW, creating the world’s largest integrated energy-and-compute architecture. This includes partnerships with Google, establishing a gigawatt-scale AI data centre campus in Visakhapatnam and additional campuses in Noida, as well as collaborations with Microsoft in Hyderabad and Pune.
The Group will also deepen its partnership with Flipkart, developing a second AI data centre to support high-performance computing, digital commerce, and large-scale AI workloads.

The new platform will integrate renewable energy, grid resilience, and hyperscale AI compute, optimising facilities for high-density AI clusters with advanced cooling and energy-efficient architecture. Dedicated compute capacity will support Indian Large Language Models (LLMs) and national data initiatives, ensuring long-term data sovereignty.
Adani Green Energy’s 30 GW Khavda project, with over 10 GW operational, will power the platform with carbon-neutral energy, supplemented by an additional USD 55 billion investment in renewable energy and one of the world’s largest battery energy storage systems. Strategic connectivity through cable landing stations will provide low-latency global integration across continents.
The Group also announces a plan to co-invest in domestic manufacturing of critical infrastructure components, including transformers, power electronics, inverters, and thermal management solutions, positioning India as both a data hub and a producer-exporter of AI infrastructure.
Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti program, the initiative embeds AI across logistics, ports, and industrial corridors, ensuring efficient, intelligent, and secure operations. A significant portion of high-performance GPU capacity will be reserved for Indian AI startups, research institutions, and deep-tech innovators, fostering a domestic AI innovation ecosystem.
