Indian conglomerate Adani Enterprises and US-based manufacturing company Jabil Inc. are exploring a joint venture to produce artificial intelligence hardware and data center equipment in India. The companies have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to establish a 50:50 partnership, seeking to capitalize on rising demand for advanced computing infrastructure in India and international markets.
The proposed venture is expected to develop a large-scale manufacturing platform capable of supporting multiple gigawatts of AI infrastructure. Its planned product range includes AI server racks, servers, storage systems, networking equipment, power distribution units, and liquid-cooling solutions. The facilities would also offer installation and commissioning services for high-performance computing systems used by cloud providers, large technology companies, data center operators, and enterprises.
The agreement is preliminary and remains subject to final contracts, regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions.
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani described the initiative as an important step toward expanding the group’s involvement in the artificial intelligence industry. Beyond supplying energy and hosting data center facilities, the group aims to participate in manufacturing the physical equipment required to support advanced computing. The proposed partnership combines Jabil’s engineering and manufacturing expertise with Adani’s capabilities in energy, infrastructure, and data centers.
Jabil CEO Mike Dastoor said the collaboration would help establish a scaled AI infrastructure manufacturing operation in India. By bringing together Jabil’s six decades of manufacturing experience and Adani’s infrastructure resources, the companies intend to supply integrated, rack-level data center solutions to major computing providers in India and overseas.
The announcement comes as India’s data center industry prepares for substantial expansion. According to estimates cited by the companies, the country’s data center capacity could reach between five and eight gigawatts by 2030, supported by growing AI adoption, cloud computing requirements, and data localization policies. The companies also estimate that the global AI computing infrastructure market could represent an opportunity exceeding $3 trillion over the next seven years.
The proposed partnership builds on an announcement made by the companies in June 2026 regarding plans to develop an AI and data center manufacturing ecosystem in India.
The project also complements the Adani Group’s stated commitment to invest $100 billion in developing five gigawatts of green-energy-powered, hyperscale AI-ready data centers by 2035.
If finalized, the joint venture could strengthen India’s domestic supply chain for advanced computing equipment while creating opportunities to export AI infrastructure hardware. The initiative reflects a broader effort to position India as a manufacturing hub for the technologies underpinning the global AI economy.
