Adani Group and U.S.-based manufacturing giant Jabil have announced plans to form a strategic alliance to build a vertically integrated artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in India, targeting both domestic and global demand for AI-ready hardware.
The proposed partnership aims to establish multi-gigawatt manufacturing capacity for high-density AI racks, servers, storage and networking systems, positioning India as a major production and export hub for AI infrastructure.
The companies said the platform will combine Jabil's engineering and manufacturing expertise with Adani's infrastructure, green energy assets, logistics network and expanding data center business to create an end-to-end ecosystem for AI hardware.
Beyond AI racks, the alliance plans to manufacture critical data center components including power distribution units, coolant distribution units, transformers, switchgears, busbars and advanced thermal management systems. The companies intend to offer customers a single-source solution spanning design, manufacturing and deployment of AI infrastructure.
The partners are currently working on definitive operational frameworks and formal agreements to execute the initiative, which they said addresses a global AI infrastructure market opportunity estimated at more than $3 trillion over the next seven years.
The announcement comes as India accelerates investments in AI infrastructure, cloud computing and data localization. Industry estimates project the country's data center capacity to reach 5 GW to 8 GW by 2030, supported by rising AI adoption and planned investments of more than $50 billion by hyperscale cloud providers.
The collaboration also aligns with Adani Group's previously announced $100 billion commitment to develop 5 GW of green-energy-powered, AI-ready hyperscale data center capacity by 2035.
"The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution," said Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group. "Our alliance with Jabil represents a decisive step in building India's complete AI infrastructure stack—from green power generation to world-class hardware manufacturing."
Jabil, which reported revenue of $29.8 billion in fiscal 2025, has expanded its AI data center capabilities through investments and acquisitions, including Hanley Energy Group and Mikros Technologies. The company said the partnership would enable it to deliver rack-level infrastructure solutions for hyperscalers and enterprises in India and international markets.
"This strategic collaboration with Adani Group is another step forward in our efforts to create long-term value for customers throughout the AI ecosystem," said Mike Dastoor, CEO of Jabil. "By combining Jabil's engineering expertise with Adani's infrastructure and energy platform, we expect to deliver scalable AI infrastructure solutions for customers in India and across the globe."
The companies said the initiative supports the government's Make in India agenda by strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities for advanced digital infrastructure and reducing reliance on imports. The platform is also expected to generate thousands of skilled engineering jobs while enhancing India's position in global AI hardware supply chains.
The announcement represents one of the largest proposed manufacturing initiatives in India's emerging AI infrastructure sector, as companies race to build capacity to support the rapid growth of generative AI and high-performance computing workloads.
