Adani Enterprises Ltd (Adani Enterprises) and Jabil Inc (Jabil) announced a strategic alliance to establish a vertically integrated artificial intelligence and data centre infrastructure manufacturing platform in India, aiming for multi-gigawatt (GW) capacity for global deployments. The partners said the platform will combine Jabil's six decades of engineering and hyperscale data centre solutions with Adani's infrastructure footprint, green energy portfolio and logistics network. The initiative is presented as a response to rapidly growing domestic and international demand for AI-ready hardware.

The manufacturing programme is organised around three pillars: giga-scale AI rack architecture, a comprehensive AI infrastructure ecosystem and market-scale transition to final documentation. It intends to produce liquid-cooled AI racks, servers, storage and networking systems using surface mount technology (SMT) and complex box-build processes deployed at scale. The alliance also plans integration capabilities down to rack-level for hyperscalers, colocation facilities and enterprise data centres.

Beyond compute racks, the collaboration encompasses white space and grey space devices including power distribution units, coolant distribution units, transformers, switchgear assemblies, bus bars and advanced thermal management systems to furnish an end-to-end hardware ecosystem. The partners estimate a global market opportunity in AI compute that exceeds USD 3 tn over the next seven years and note more than USD 50 bn of planned spending by global hyperscalers across data centre, cloud and AI ecosystems. Jabil's recent revenue of USD 29.8 bn for fiscal year 2025 and Adani Group's USD 100 bn commitment to develop five gigawatt (GW) of green-energy-powered hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035 are cited as complementary strengths.

Industry forecasts indicate India's data centre capacity could reach between five and eight gigawatt (GW) by 2030, driven by AI demand, cloud expansion and data localisation rules. The firms highlighted regulatory incentives including a tax holiday for data centres until 2047 and domestic data protection measures as factors strengthening local manufacturing competitiveness. The alliance is framed as advancing the Make in India agenda, enhancing supply chain resilience and creating skilled engineering employment while the partners refine operational frameworks and formal documentation to accelerate execution.
