In a move set to reshape global AI infrastructure supply chains, Adani Group and Jabil have announced plans for a strategic alliance to build a large-scale AI data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in India.

 

The partnership aims to establish a vertically integrated ecosystem for designing and producing next-generation AI-ready data center hardware, positioning India as a global export hub for advanced digital infrastructure.

 

The proposed platform combines Jabil’s decades of precision engineering and global manufacturing expertise with Adani Group’s vast infrastructure network, renewable energy assets, logistics capabilities, and rapidly expanding data center operations in India.

 

Together, the companies are targeting multi-gigawatt scale production of AI rack systems and supporting infrastructure, designed to serve hyperscalers, colocation providers, and enterprise customers worldwide.

 

A key pillar of the initiative is the creation of “Giga-Scale AI Rack Architecture,” with plans to deploy multi-GW manufacturing capacity in India. This would include advanced liquid-cooled AI servers, storage systems, networking hardware, and high-density rack solutions built using SMT and complex systems integration processes.

 

The alliance also envisions a broader “360-degree AI infrastructure ecosystem,” covering not just compute hardware but also power and thermal systems such as PDUs, CDUs, transformers, switchgear, bus bars, and cooling technologies—effectively building a full-stack hardware supply chain.

 

The companies describe the initiative as an end-to-end design-to-deployment manufacturing platform aimed at consolidating production for global AI infrastructure demand.

 

The companies point to a rapidly expanding global AI infrastructure market, which they estimate at over USD 3 trillion in the coming years, driven by hyperscaler investments and surging compute demand.

 

India’s domestic data center capacity is projected to grow to 5–8 GW by 2030, supported by rising cloud adoption, AI workloads, and data localization requirements under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Government incentives, including tax benefits for data centers until 2047, are also expected to strengthen India’s position as a manufacturing base.

 

The alliance aligns with Adani Group’s broader commitment to develop 5 GW of green-energy-powered AI-ready data centers by 2035, supported by an investment plan of USD 100 billion.

 

Jabil, which reported USD 29.8 billion in revenue in FY2025, brings its global electronics manufacturing scale and recent acquisitions in power and thermal systems to the partnership, further deepening its footprint in AI infrastructure supply chains.

 

The companies frame the partnership as a major step forward for India’s manufacturing ambitions, shifting the country from a consumer of digital infrastructure to a producer and exporter of AI hardware.

 

The initiative is expected to boost domestic high-tech manufacturing, strengthen global supply chain resilience, and create thousands of skilled engineering and manufacturing jobs.

 

Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, noted: "The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution. Nations that master the symmetry between energy and compute will shape the next decade. India is uniquely positioned to lead. 

 

"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. Together, we will ensure India is not merely a consumer in the AI age, but a creator, builder, and exporter of intelligence."

 

Mike Dastoor, CEO, Jabil, stated: "This strategic collaboration with Adani Group is another step forward in our efforts to create long-term value for customers throughout the AI ecosystem by offering scalable solutions across the product lifecycle. 

 

"By combining Jabil's more than sixty years of engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities with Adani's formidable infrastructure and energy platform, we can expect to execute down to the rack level for hyperscalers and enterprises here in India and across the globe. 

 

"As India becomes one of the world’s fastest-growing AI markets, the country’s skilled workforce and supportive business environment make it an attractive destination for this collaboration."
