The renewable energy backbone will be anchored by Adani Green Energy's 30 GW Khavda project in Gujarat, of which more than 10 GW is operational. The group has separately committed an additional $55 billion to expand its renewable energy portfolio, including large-scale battery energy storage systems.
The data centres will incorporate advanced liquid cooling, high-efficiency power design and dedicated capacity for Indian large language models and national data initiatives to support data sovereignty. A portion of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) capacity will be reserved for Indian AI start-ups, research institutions and deep-technology innovators.
