Adani Group and Jabil Inc have announced plans to establish a strategic alliance aimed at creating a vertically integrated manufacturing platform for artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure in India. The proposed collaboration seeks to position India as a major global hub for advanced AI hardware production while supporting the rapidly expanding demand for next-generation data center technologies worldwide.
The planned platform will combine Jabil’s expertise in advanced engineering, manufacturing and supply chain management with Adani Group’s extensive infrastructure capabilities, renewable energy assets, logistics network and expanding data center operations. Together, the companies aim to create a comprehensive manufacturing ecosystem capable of serving hyperscale cloud providers, enterprise customers and global data center operators.
A key focus of the initiative will be the development of large-scale manufacturing capacity for high-density AI infrastructure. The platform is expected to produce advanced liquid-cooled AI racks, servers, storage systems and networking equipment using sophisticated electronics manufacturing technologies and complex integration processes.
In addition to computing infrastructure, the alliance plans to manufacture a broad range of supporting equipment required for modern data centers. These include power distribution units, coolant distribution systems, transformers, switchgear solutions, busbars and thermal management technologies. By integrating multiple product categories within a single ecosystem, the platform aims to provide customers with an end-to-end infrastructure solution from design through deployment.
The initiative comes at a time when global investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure is accelerating rapidly. Industry estimates indicate that AI-driven computing requirements will drive trillions of dollars in infrastructure spending over the coming years, creating significant opportunities for advanced manufacturing hubs capable of supporting global demand.
India’s data center market is also experiencing strong growth, supported by cloud adoption, digital transformation initiatives, data localization requirements and increasing AI workloads. Industry projections suggest that the country’s installed data center capacity could expand significantly by the end of the decade, creating sustained demand for domestically manufactured infrastructure.
The alliance aligns closely with Adani Group’s broader vision of building green-energy-powered digital infrastructure and expanding India’s role in global technology supply chains. By integrating renewable energy, manufacturing and data center capabilities, the collaboration seeks to create a competitive platform that supports both domestic and international markets.
Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, said the partnership represents an important step in building a comprehensive AI infrastructure ecosystem that combines energy, manufacturing and digital capabilities. Mike Dastoor, Chief Executive Officer of Jabil, highlighted the opportunity to leverage the strengths of both organizations to deliver scalable infrastructure solutions for customers around the world.
The companies are currently working on operational frameworks and definitive agreements to advance the initiative. Once implemented, the platform is expected to strengthen India’s manufacturing ecosystem, create high-skilled employment opportunities and enhance the country’s position as a global center for AI infrastructure production.
Adani Group is one of India’s leading infrastructure conglomerates with a diversified presence across resources, logistics, energy, utilities, airports, real estate, consumer businesses, financial services, and defence.
