Adani Pledges 100 Billion Dollars For Renewable AI Centres By 2035

19 Feb 2026 CW Team

The plan sets a clear timeline to 2035 and envisages phased development of capacity, power and connectivity. Initial projects are expected to prioritise integration with renewable energy sources and local grid upgrades. The group intends to coordinate data centre deployment with existing energy projects. Deployment will follow a phased schedule with early focus on scalability and resilience in site design.

Power for the data centres will be sourced predominantly from renewable generation, reflecting a strategy to lower the carbon intensity of compute. The approach aims to marry renewable generation capacity with storage and transmission to ensure reliability for critical AI workloads. This model is intended to address peak demand and support continuous operation.

Investment of this scale is expected to catalyse related industrial activity and develop specialised skills in data centre operations and renewable project delivery. The initiative could stimulate supply chains for electrical equipment, transmission infrastructure and cooling technologies. Local employment and technology partnerships are anticipated as part of the rollout. Industry observers expect the programme to drive demand for skilled engineers and specialised contractors.

The enterprise frames the commitment as part of a long-term infrastructure and sustainability strategy, with development phased over the next decade and beyond. Stakeholders will monitor permitting, land acquisition and grid integration as immediate milestones. Progress will depend on permits, grid planning and coordination with regulators and partners. The pledge signals an intensifying focus on AI infrastructure and the role of renewable energy in supporting digital transformation.

Adani Group has pledged 100 billion (100 bn) dollars to build a network of renewable-powered artificial intelligence data centres by 2035. The pledge is described as an effort to create a backbone of data centres to support large-scale AI workloads.

Government Cancels Auction Of Eleven Critical Mineral Blocks

The government has cancelled the auction of 11 critical and strategic mineral blocks after receiving a poor investor response and failing to attract a sufficient number of qualified bidders. The decision represents a setback to plans to ramp up domestic exploration and production of critical minerals amid global supply chain disruptions and rising demand for materials used in clean energy and advanced technologies. The mines ministry issued an annulment notice setting out the reasons for the cancellations. The annulment notice indicated that the auction process for five mineral blocks was canc..
