Adani Group and Jabil have announced an intent to form a strategic alliance to create a vertically integrated manufacturing platform for AI and data centre infrastructure in India. The partnership will combine Jabil's six decades of engineering and manufacturing expertise with Adani Group's infrastructure, green energy assets and logistics network to address rising local and global demand for AI-ready hardware. The companies said the platform is designed to support hyperscalers, co-location providers and enterprise data centres with advanced, locally manufactured systems.\n\nThe manufacturing platform will focus on gigawatt (GW) scale AI rack architecture and complex box-build assembly, including liquid-cooled racks, servers, storage and networking systems assembled using surface mount technology and precision integration. It will also target multi-GW production capacity to meet hyperscale requirements and enable export capability. Production plans include design-to-deployment capabilities for high-density compute infrastructure.\n\nThe alliance covers a 360-degree hardware ecosystem spanning power distribution units, coolant distribution units, transformers, switchgear, bus bars and thermal management systems to provide a single-source solution for infrastructure builders. The partners cited a global market opportunity exceeding United States dollar (USD) three tn over the next seven years and said they are finalising operational frameworks and formal documentation to accelerate execution. Jabil's recent annual revenue was USD 29.8 bn and Adani has committed USD 100 bn towards developing five GW of green-energy-powered hyperscale AI-ready data centres by 2035.\n\nIndustry forecasts suggest India's data centre capacity could reach between five and eight GW by 2030, driven by AI demand, cloud expansion and data localisation policies, and the partnership aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing and export competitiveness. The Union Budget 2026 tax holiday for data centres until 2047 was highlighted as a factor that improves the economic case for India-based production and exports. The initiative is presented as a Make in India landmark expected to create thousands of skilled engineering roles and to enhance supply chain resilience.
