Ahmadabad, India - June 15, 2026 - Adani Enterprises and US-based manufacturing giant Jabil are exploring a strategic alliance to build a large-scale AI and data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in India, targeting rapidly rising global demand for AI-ready hardware systems.
The proposed partnership aims to combine Jabil’s advanced manufacturing and engineering expertise with Adani Group’s infrastructure footprint, renewable energy portfolio, logistics capabilities, and expanding data center business to create an integrated AI infrastructure ecosystem. The companies said the initiative will focus on GW-scale AI rack systems and advanced data center infrastructure intended for both domestic deployment and global export markets.
According to the announcement, the alliance is designed to address growing worldwide demand for high-density AI computing infrastructure as hyperscalers and enterprises expand GPU-intensive AI clusters. The companies estimate that the broader market opportunity for AI and data center infrastructure could exceed USD 3 trillion over the next seven years.
The proposed platform is expected to manufacture equipment, including AI server racks, storage systems, networking infrastructure, and supporting power and cooling technologies required for next-generation AI facilities.
Industry analysts increasingly view India as a critical growth market for AI infrastructure manufacturing as the country pushes to strengthen domestic electronics production and digital infrastructure capacity. India’s data center market is projected to expand significantly by the end of the decade, driven by AI adoption, cloud expansion, data localization requirements, and growing hyperscale investments.
The collaboration also aligns with broader efforts to position India as a global manufacturing hub for advanced technology systems. Jabil brings decades of experience in electronics manufacturing and hyperscale infrastructure production, while Adani has been rapidly expanding across renewable energy, digital infrastructure, logistics, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
Recent research has highlighted how large-scale AI infrastructure deployments are reshaping both power systems and data center operations. Studies published this month point to growing pressure on electricity grids as AI clusters scale toward increasingly power-intensive deployments, creating new demand for integrated infrastructure planning and high-efficiency hardware ecosystems.
While financial terms and deployment timelines were not disclosed, the companies said the initiative is intended to support the development of a vertically integrated AI infrastructure supply chain anchored in India.
The announcement reflects accelerating competition among infrastructure providers, manufacturers, and hyperscalers globally as countries race to secure supply chains for the next wave of AI-driven digital infrastructure growth.
