Adani and Jabil plan AI data centre manufacturing platform in India

Adani Group and Jabil have announced plans to form a strategic alliance to build an AI and data centre infrastructure manufacturing platform in India. The collaboration aims to produce AI-ready hardware and support India's emergence as a global digital infrastructure hub

New Delhi: Adani Group and Jabil Inc. on Monday announced plans to form a strategic alliance to establish a vertically integrated AI and data centre infrastructure manufacturing platform in India, targeting large-scale production of AI-ready hardware for domestic and global markets.

The proposed alliance will combine Jabil’s engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities with Adani Group’s infrastructure, green energy, logistics and data centre assets to address the growing demand for AI data centre infrastructure, the companies said.

Under the proposed collaboration, the companies plan to develop multi-gigawatt manufacturing capacity for high-density AI racks, servers, storage and networking systems in India. The platform will also manufacture key supporting infrastructure, including power distribution units (PDUs), coolant distribution units (CDUs), transformers, switchgears, bus bars and thermal management systems.

The companies said the initiative targets a global market opportunity estimated at more than USD 3 trillion over the next seven years, driven by investments in AI computing infrastructure. They are currently working on operational frameworks and formal documentation for the alliance.

The announcement comes as India’s data centre market is projected to reach 5-8 GW of capacity by 2030, supported by rising AI adoption, cloud expansion and data localisation requirements. The companies said planned investments by hyperscalers and policy support, including tax incentives for data centres, are strengthening India’s position as a manufacturing hub for digital infrastructure.

The alliance aligns with Adani Group’s commitment to develop 5 GW of green energy-powered, AI-ready data centre capacity by 2035. Jabil, which reported revenue of USD 29.8 billion in fiscal 2025, said the partnership would expand its role in the global AI data centre ecosystem.

Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said, “The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution. Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead.

“Our alliance with Jabil represents a decisive step in building India’s complete AI infrastructure stack, from green power generation to world-class hardware manufacturing. Together, we will ensure India is not merely a consumer in the AI age, but a creator, builder and exporter of intelligence,” he added.

Jabil CEO Mike Dastoor said the collaboration would help deliver scalable solutions across the AI ecosystem.

“By combining Jabil’s more than 60 years of engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities with Adani’s formidable infrastructure and energy platform, we can expect to execute down to the rack level for hyperscalers and enterprises here in India and across the globe,” Dastoor said.

“As India becomes one of the world’s fastest-growing AI markets, the country’s skilled workforce and supportive business environment make it an attractive destination for this collaboration,” he added.
