Adani's $100B AI Infra Pledge: Energy, Compute & Services Sovereignty | AI Summit 2026

Jeet Adani, Director of Adani Digital Labs, addressed the India AI Impact Summit, outlining a vision for India's 'AI century' built on the pillars of energy, compute, and services sovereignty. He emphasized that 'AI is going to redefine sovereignty' and questioned whether India will import intelligence or architect its own. Adani highlighted the Adani Group's commitment to invest $100 billion in a green energy-powered AI infrastructure platform, describing it as a 'trigger for a five gigawatt 250 billion dollar integrated energy and compute ecosystem'. He argued that energy security is now equivalent to intelligence security, as AI systems depend on stable power grids. Adani further stressed the need for domestic compute capacity to ensure autonomy and prevent strategic leverage from concentrating externally. He concluded by stating that India's rise in technology is aimed at inclusion and stability, ensuring the AI revolution serves Indian citizens across agriculture, healthcare, and education before becoming a 'margin multiplier for others'.
