Adani pushes domestic AI infrastructure buildout

Gautam Adani used the CII Annual Business Summit to argue India should build and own its AI stack at home — energy, data centres, compute, chips, networks and talent, PTI reports. The call comes on the heels of projections seeing AI-driven data centre demand rising from 5 GW by 2030 to nearly 75 GW by 2047.

The framing dovetails neatly with Adani Group’s own USD 100 bn data centre plan, its Google and Microsoft partnerships, and its 30 GW Khavda renewables project. The corridor question Adani didn't answer: how Gulf sovereign capital — currently the most aggressive non-Chinese non-US backer of AI infrastructure — fits into a "sovereign" Indian buildout. That's the more interesting story whenever someone gets it on the record.
