Adani Group and global manufacturing giant Jabil Inc. have unveiled a massive blueprint to capture the surging global artificial intelligence (AI) and data center market. The companies officially announced a strategic alliance to establish a state-of-the-art AI and hyperscale data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in India.
According to a joint statement, this mega initiative is strategically positioned to tap into an estimated global market opportunity exceeding $3 trillion over the next seven years.
The alliance merges Florida-based Jabil’s six decades of engineering expertise and hyperscale manufacturing heritage with Adani Group’s vast infrastructure, green energy assets, and rapidly expanding domestic data center footprint. The core objective of this venture is to deliver gigawatt-scale AI rack manufacturing capabilities for hyperscalers, co-location facilities, and commercial data centers globally.
Beyond core computing infrastructure, the platform will manufacture highly complex hardware, including power distribution units, cooling distribution units, transformers, switchgears, and advanced thermal management systems. This will create an integrated, end-to-end hardware supply chain, offering infrastructure builders a comprehensive “under-one-roof” technological solution.
Industry analysts note that the announcement arrives at a pivotal moment for India’s data center sector, which is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Driven by the rapid proliferation of AI, cloud infrastructure expansion, and stringent data localization mandates, India’s data center capacity is projected to surge to 5–8 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. Major global tech leaders have already pledged over $50 billion in investments toward India’s data center and AI ecosystems.
For the Adani Group, this partnership aligns with its broader vision to invest $100 billion by 2035 to build 5 GW of green energy-powered hyperscale data centers. Concurrently, Jabil—which reported a revenue of $29.8 billion in fiscal year 2025—has significantly bolstered its power management and thermal solutions capabilities through its recent acquisitions of Hanley Energy Group and Mikros Technologies.
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, hailed the collaboration as a historic milestone that will solidify India’s position on the global technology map.
“The nations that can successfully integrate energy and computing power will define the coming decade,” Adani said. “This alliance with Jabil is a decisive step toward building India’s end-to-end AI infrastructure—spanning from green power generation to world-class hardware manufacturing. We want to ensure that in the AI era, India emerges not just as a consumer, but as a creator, builder, and exporter.”
Mike Dastoor, CEO of Jabil, highlighted India’s status as one of the fastest-growing AI markets globally. He stated that the combined strengths of both corporations will enable seamless, rack-level operations for hyperscalers and commercial enterprises in both Indian and international markets. He added that India’s skilled workforce and pro-business environment make it an ideal destination for this partnership.
The two companies confirmed that they are currently finalizing the operational frameworks and definitive agreements to fast-track the execution of their manufacturing roadmap.
