The AI infrastructure seems to be growing in India as more and more developments are launching. On Tuesday, Adani, an India based conglomerate announced that it will be investing $100 billion towards AI-ready data centres, in an effort to scale them by 2035.
By 2035, the investment is expected to bring on an extra $150 billion in spending across other industries in order to create a projected $250 billion AI infrastructure system in the country.
What Is The Intelligence Revolution?
With Adani hoping for this project to place India as a global leader in the Intelligence Revolution, it’s important to remind ourselves what that is.
We know of the Industrial Revolution and the advancements it came with. As a core aspect of the 4IR, AI drives the Intelligence Revolution. Simply put, it is the advancement of all things technology.
Mr Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group said: “The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution.
“Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead. At Adani, we are building on our foundation in data centres and green energy to expand into the complete five-layer AI stack focused on India’s technological sovereignty. India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future.”

What Will The Infrastructure Be Built On?
This will be built existing infrastructure. With AdaniConnex’s 2 GW national data centre, the company intends on expanding to about 5 GW with this investment.
The company said: “The 5 GW deployment will create the world’s largest integrated data centre platform, combining renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure and hyperscale AI compute within a single coordinated architecture. Unlike conventional data centre expansions, the program is designed as a unified energy-and-compute ecosystem, where generation, grid resilience and high-density processing capacity are developed in parallel.
“Facilities will be optimised for large high-density compute clusters and next-generation AI workloads, supported by advanced liquid cooling systems and high-efficiency power architecture. Dedicated compute capacity will support Indian Large Language Models (LLMs) and national data initiatives, ensuring long-term data sovereignty. Reliable transmission networks and advanced grid systems will underpin the platform, ensuring stability, scalability and uptime at hyperscale.”
In partnering with big tech giants such as Google, Adani aims to position itself up there as other such developments and investments into India expand as well.
In fact, India’s AI Impact Summit are to have big tech leadership taking part, making this the first major international AI summit in the Global South. This just shows how much of a global competitor India is becoming.
Adani’s press release said: “The Adani Group is also in discussion with other major players seeking to establish large scale campuses across India thereby further cementing its position as India’s premier AI infrastructure partner.
“In line with this vision, the Group will also deepen its data centre partnership with Flipkart, advancing the collaboration toward the development of a second AI data centre purpose-built to support Flipkart’s next-generation digital commerce, high-performance computing and large-scale AI workloads.”
