Adani Group and Jabil Inc. have announced the intent to form a strategic alliance to establish a world-class, vertically integrated artificial intelligence (AI) and data centre infrastructure manufacturing platform in India.
The alliance integrates Jabil’s six decades of advanced engineering, cross-industry manufacturing expertise, and proven hyperscale data centre solutions with Adani Group’s massive infrastructure footprint, green energy portfolio, logistics network, and rapidly expanding domestic data centre operations. This combination will be structured to directly address the explosive local and global demand for AI-ready data centre hardware.
Core pillars of the manufacturing platform include the following:
- Giga-scale AI rack architecture: The platform plans to deploy multi gigawatt (GW) of high-density AI rack manufacturing capacity in India. This will serve the critical infrastructure needs of global hyperscalers, co-location facilities, and enterprise data centres through the advanced manufacturing and integration of next-generation liquid-cooled AI racks, servers, storage, and networking systems utilising state-of-the-art surface mount technology and complex box-build processes.
- 360-degree AI infrastructure ecosystem: Beyond computing racks, the alliance encompasses full-spectrum white space and grey space device manufacturing. This includes power distribution units, coolant distribution units, transformers, switchgears, bus bars, and advanced thermal management systems. Together, Adani and Jabil intend to deliver an end-to-end, design-to-deployment hardware ecosystem, providing infrastructure builders with a highly integrated single-source solution.
- Market scale and transition to final documentation: This initiative addresses a global market opportunity exceeding $3 trillion over the next seven years, driven by structural investments in AI compute. The two organisations are currently working on the definitive operational frameworks and formal documentation to accelerate the execution of this manufacturing roadmap.
Commenting on the collaboration, chairman, Adani Group, said, “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.”
Meanwhile, chief executive officer, Jabil, said, “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.”
