Ahmedabad, June 15 (IANS). Adani Enterprises Limited and global manufacturing company Jabil on Monday announced a strategic partnership to build a world-class, vertically integrated AI and data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in India.
The companies plan to set up multi-gigawatt high-density AI rack manufacturing capacity in India.
According to a company statement, it will address the critical infrastructure needs of global hyperscalers, co-location facilities and enterprise data centers through advanced manufacturing and integration of next-generation liquid-cooled AI racks, servers, storage and networking systems using state-of-the-art SMT (surface mount technology) and complex box-build processes.
Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, said, “The world is entering an intelligent revolution that is deeper than any previous industrial revolution. Nations that master the tradeoffs between energy and computers will shape the coming decade. India is positioned to lead in this field.”
Adani Group Chairman said, “Our partnership with Jabil is an important step towards building India’s complete AI infrastructure stack, which includes everything from green power generation to world-class hardware manufacturing. Together, we will ensure that India is not just a consumer in the era of AI, but also a creator, builder and exporter of intelligence.”
This strong partnership will be designed to directly address the rapidly growing local and global demand for AI-ready data center hardware.
In addition to computing racks, the partnership includes the manufacturing of a full range of ‘white space’ and ‘grey space’ devices. This includes power distribution units (PDUs), coolant distribution units (CDUs), transformers, switchgear, bus bars and advanced thermal management systems. Adani and Jabil together want to create an end-to-end, design-to-deployment hardware ecosystem to provide a single, fully integrated solution for infrastructure developers.
“This strategic partnership with Adani Group is another step in our efforts to create long-term value for customers in the AI ecosystem by providing scalable solutions across the entire product lifecycle,” said Mike Dastur, CEO of Jabil.
Dastur further added, “As India becomes one of the fastest growing AI markets in the world, the country’s skilled workforce and supportive business environment make it an attractive place to partner.”
The initiative seeks to capitalize on a global market opportunity of more than $3 trillion over the next seven years, driven by structural investment in AI compute.
This partnership is directly aligned with Adani Group’s $100 billion commitment to build 5 GW of green-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centers by 2035 and further strengthens existing partnerships with global technology leaders.
India’s data center market is at an inflection point; According to industry estimates, its capacity could reach 5-8 GW by 2030 due to the increasing demand for AI, expansion of cloud and data localization needs.
