Adani Group plans to invest up to $5 billion in Google’s massive new AI data-centre campus in India, signalling the country’s intensifying race to build world-scale AI infrastructure.
The Adani Group is preparing to pour up to $5 billion into Google’s new AI infrastructure hub in Andhra Pradesh, India.
At a media event in Mumbai, Adani Group CFO Jugeshinder Singh confirmed the conglomerate is finalising terms to invest billions in Google’s upcoming facility in Visakhapatnam.
The project, developed through AdaniConneX, follows last month’s announcement of a major partnership with Google parent Alphabet to build India’s largest AI data-centre campus.
The commitment underscores the breakneck pace of global AI-infrastructure expansion, with corporations and governments funnelling unprecedented capital into compute, networking, and power capacity.
Google itself recently revealed plans for a $15 billion data-centre investment in India – the company’s single biggest bet in the country to date – as demand for Gemini-powered cloud services surges.
Adani isn’t alone, as Reliance-backed Digital Connexion this week signed an $11 billion agreement to develop data centres in the same region, while Tata Consultancy Services secured $1 billion from TPG to accelerate its own AI-infrastructure push.
Analysts at CBRE estimate India’s data-centre market will draw over $100 billion in investment by 2027, fuelled by hyperscaler growth, regulatory pressure to localise data, and booming domestic AI adoption.
For Google, Visakhapatnam is set to become a flagship AI campus, providing compute for everything from consumer Gemini features to enterprise cloud workloads.
For India, it signals a new phase in its digital-infrastructure ambitions: a contest between its biggest conglomerates to become the country’s dominant AI-compute provider.
