The Adani Group has recently announced that it will be investing around Rs. 9.06 lakh crore (US$ 100 billion) in Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure by 2035, which is one of the biggest investments made by any company to develop advanced digital capabilities in India. The investment will be made in building large data centres, high-performance computing infrastructure, and energy-efficient infrastructure to support the growing demand for AI applications. This is in line with India’s vision to become a global innovation hub for AI, driven by the growing consumption of data, adoption of digital technologies, and the government’s push for digital transformation. This will also help India develop advanced capabilities in handling large data processing and AI workloads, making it an attractive destination in the global technology landscape.
A major chunk of the investment will be channelled into sustainable infrastructure, combining renewable energy sources to power AI infrastructure, thus reducing carbon emissions and ensuring efficient long-term functionality. The Adani Group is also working towards developing a strong ecosystem that promotes AI research, development, and implementation in various sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and finance. The development of AI infrastructure is also expected to create job opportunities and encourage global technology collaborations, thus fuelling further innovation. With growing private sector investment and large-scale outlays, the AI ecosystem in India is expected to develop at a rapid pace, thus solidifying its position as a key player in the global digital economy and furthering its vision of economic development through technology.
