Adani Commits $5 Billion to Google’s AI Hub as India’s Data Center Race Heats Up
Adani Group will invest $5 billion in Google's new artificial intelligence hub in southern India, CFO Jugeshinder Singh announced at a Mumbai press event. The project, developed with Alphabet Inc., aims to create India's largest AI data campus, though capital allocation specifics remain undisclosed.
The move accelerates India's $100 billion data center market race, with Reliance Industries and Tata Consultancy Services securing $11 billion and $1 billion investments respectively for Andhra Pradesh projects. Global players like Amazon and OpenAI are similarly expanding in the region.
CBRE Group projects Visakhapatnam will become a key battleground for AI infrastructure, with the southeastern coastal city attracting concentrated investment flows through 2027.
