Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani announced new investments of $100 billion for energy transition and another $100 billion for data centre infrastructure, as he outlined the group’s future plans at the CII Annual Business Summit 2026 in New Delhi.
Speaking on the theme of the future of the global economy, Adani said energy security and digital security are now the twin foundations of national power. He stated that India must build its own intelligence infrastructure and not rent it from foreign shores.
Adani disclosed that at Khavda in Gujarat, the group has already commissioned 35% of what will become a 30 GW renewable energy plant, the world’s largest single-site project. He said the group’s total commitment towards the energy transition stands at $100 billion, making it one of the largest clean-energy investors globally.
He noted that India has crossed 500 GW of installed power capacity as of March 2026, with 53% of this capacity added over the past 10 years. He added that India is on its way to add another 4x capacity over the next two decades to reach 2,000 GW by 2047.
On the data centre front, Adani said the group is constructing large-scale integrated data centre campuses across India. In partnership with Google, it is building the country’s largest gigawatt-scale campus in Visakhapatnam with a multi-billion-dollar commitment. Microsoft is also a partner in the data centre mission. Companies including Flipkart and Uber are anchoring their data requirements with the Adani Group.
Adani further announced a $100 billion commitment to the data centre business, which he described as a statement of intent that India must build and own the infrastructure of its intelligence future on its own soil.
The Adani Foundation has committed Rs 60,000 crore towards education, healthcare, skilling and community development, with a growing share directed towards AI-integrated skilling.
Adani projected that India’s installed power capacity will need to reach 2,000 GW by 2047, adding four times the current capacity over the next two decades.
