Adani Group Plans $5 Billion Investment in Google Data Centers, CFO Confirms

India’s Adani Group, by billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, is gearing up for a major push into the nation’s fast-evolving AI infrastructure landscape. The conglomerate is preparing to invest up to $5 billion in Google’s planned artificial intelligence infrastructure hub in southern India, according to Chief Financial Officer Jugeshinder Singh.

The move highlights the accelerating flow of capital into India’s booming data-center industry, which has become one of the hottest segments of the country’s digital economy.

‍

Singh, speaking to reporters at an event in Mumbai, noted that the final investment structure is still being ironed out, with discussions ongoing between the companies. Still, the broad commitment underscores Adani’s ambition to establish a dominant footprint in the next generation of digital infrastructure.

‍

The update follows the recent announcement that Adani Enterprises Ltd., through its partnership vehicle AdaniConneX Pvt., has joined forces with Alphabet Inc. to build India’s largest AI-focused data-center campus in Visakhapatnam, located in the coastal state of Andhra Pradesh. Once complete, the facility is expected to serve as a major hub for high-performance computing, cloud workloads, and AI-specific applications that require enormous processing power.

‍

This latest development is a reflection of a much larger global shift. Governments, cloud providers, telecom giants, and technology leaders around the world are spending trillions of dollars on advanced AI hardware from GPUs and high-density servers to specialized cooling systems in what has quickly become an unprecedented arms race. Every major player is racing to secure the compute capacity needed to train and deploy increasingly complex artificial intelligence models.

‍

India has emerged as a key battleground in this global competition. Just this week, Digital Connexion the data-center joint venture involving Reliance Industries Ltd. signed an $11 billion investment agreement to build new data-center capacity in Visakhapatnam, the same region where Adani and Google are establishing their flagship AI campus. Digital Connexion’s commitment adds yet another layer of momentum to a city that is rapidly positioning itself as one of India’s most important technology infrastructure hubs.

‍

Other large Indian corporations are also accelerating their efforts. Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. recently secured $1 billion in capital from TPG Inc. to speed up its digital infrastructure expansion.

‍

The investment will support new facilities and strengthen TCS’s ability to serve enterprise clients looking to scale their AI and cloud deployments. Across the board, India’s largest companies are investing heavily to ensure the country has the compute power needed to support its rising AI ambitions.

‍

Market research also points to a massive long-term opportunity. According to projections from CBRE Group Inc., overall investment in India’s data-center industry is expected to exceed $100 billion by 2027.

‍

This forecast reflects both the country’s expanding digital ecosystem and the surge in demand from global cloud providers, hyperscalers, and AI-driven enterprises. Power availability, submarine cable access, and favorable state policies have helped position India as one of the most attractive and competitive data-center markets in the world.

‍

For Adani Group, the investment signals a strategic push to align itself with the next phase of global technological transformation. By partnering with Google and deepening its presence in high-density data infrastructure, the conglomerate is aiming to secure a long-term leadership position in AI-grade computing a segment expected to grow exponentially in the coming decade.

‍

As the global race for AI capacity accelerates, India’s role is expanding just as quickly. With multiple billion-dollar commitments from some of the country’s largest corporate players, and strong interest from global technology giants, the nation is rapidly establishing itself as a critical hub in the worldwide AI infrastructure supply chain.
