Adani Group Announces $280 Million, 48MW Data Center Investment in India's Telangana December 10, 2025 The Adani Group, one of India's largest industrial conglomerates, has announced a major new investment in the country's rapidly expanding digital infrastructure sector. The move underscores the intensifying race among major corporations to build capacity for India's surging demand for data processing and artificial intelligence (AI) services. On Monday, Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports and son of group founder Gautam Adani, revealed plans to invest Rs 2,500 crore (approximately $280 million) to establish a 48-megawatt (MW) data center in the southern Indian state of Telangana. The announcement signals a significant capital commitment to a region already established as a key data center hub, home to the major tech city of Hyderabad. Specific details regarding the facility's exact location and development timeline remain undisclosed. It is also unclear whether the project will be executed by AdaniConneX, the group's dedicated data center joint venture with global operator EdgeConneX. This latest project follows a recent report that the Adani Group is set to invest up to $5 billion in a Google data center campus in Visakhapatnam, highlighting the conglomerate's aggressive push into the sector. The investment arrives amid a historic construction boom in India's data center market. According to industry data from DC Byte, as of April 2025, India's live operational capacity stands at 1.2 gigawatts (GW). This is dwarfed by a total pipeline of 7.7GW of facilities that are under construction, committed, or in early planning stages, with the latter category alone constituting 57 percent of the country's future supply. This massive gap between existing and planned capacity illustrates the scale of opportunity that domestic giants like Adani are seeking to capture. The Adani Group's foray into data centers reflects a broader trend of major Indian industrial groups diversifying into digital infrastructure, betting on the nation's exponential growth in data consumption, cloud adoption, and AI-driven compute needs. This strategic expansion not only positions Adani to compete in a high-growth market but also contributes to building the critical backbone required for India's digital economy.
