CHENNAI: The Adani Group on Friday said it plans to invest nearly Rs 1 trillion in Andhra Pradesh over the next ten years, expanding its presence across infrastructure, energy, logistics, and digital services. The long-term investment roadmap deepens the conglomerate’s strategic commitment to the state, where it is already a major player in ports and renewable energy.
A key highlight of the announcement is Adani’s partnership with Google to build a large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) and data-centre hub in Visakhapatnam. The project—described as one of India’s largest AI-focused digital infrastructure initiatives—is expected to include hyperscale data-centre capacity, advanced compute infrastructure, and high-speed connectivity systems. Telecom major Bharti Airtel is also part of the collaboration to support the project’s network backbone.
"We have already invested around Rs 40,000 crore across ports, logistics, cement, infrastructure and renewable energy. Over the next ten years we are planning to invest Rs 1 trillion in ports, cement, data centres and energy business," said Karan Adani, managing director of Adani Ports & SEZ, while speaking at the 30th CII Partnership Summit at Vishakhapatnam.
According to the Group's Friday statement, the investments will span multiple sectors critical to the state’s economic development, including green energy, data centres, industrial infrastructure, and technology services. The company said its growing presence in Andhra Pradesh reflects confidence in the state's long-term growth potential and its focus on building a digital-ready industrial ecosystem.
Industry observers expect the AI hub to significantly boost Visakhapatnam’s technology landscape, with potential to create thousands of skilled jobs and position the city as a major centre for AI innovation and cloud-computing infrastructure. The collaboration also aligns with India’s broader push to expand domestic compute capacity and attract global technology investments.
Adani’s announcement marks one of the largest private sector commitments to the state in recent years, signalling Andhra Pradesh’s rising prominence as a destination for high-value technology and infrastructure investment.
