Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has announced plans to invest $100 billion in building a network of renewable energy data centers. By 2035, the company aims to create the world's largest integrated AI platform in India and turn the country into a global leader in the "intellectual revolution."

The project will be implemented through the AdaniConnex joint platform, a partnership with US data center services provider EdgeConneX. The complex's total capacity will increase 2,5-fold, from 2 to 5 GW. Adani also highlighted strategic alliances with Google and Microsoft, both of which previously announced large-scale investments in India's AI infrastructure: Google committed to investing 15 billion USD over five years, and Microsoft 17,5 billion USD between 2026 and 2029. Negotiations with other major industry players are already underway, according to the company.

According to Adani's estimates, the project's implementation will attract an additional 150 billion USD in related investments by 2035—in server production, energy infrastructure, and public cloud platforms. This will ultimately bring the total value of the AI ecosystem being built in India to 250 billion USD.

"The world is entering an era of intellectual revolution, and countries that learn to combine energy and computing power will set the tone for the next decade," said Gautam Adani (No. 27 on the Forbes list, with a net worth of 66,3 billion USD). According to him, Adani's goal is to make India not a consumer, but a "creator, developer, and exporter" of artificial intelligence technologies.

The market reacted positively to the announcement, with Adani Enterprises shares rising 3,1% to 2252 rupees (24,8 USD), becoming one of the top gainers on India's Nifty 50 index.
