Adani group has proposed to invest ₹1 trillion to establish a 1 gigawatt (Gw), artificial intelligence (AI)-focused data centre in Odisha. It is the biggest investment ever proposed by an Indian company in the country’s data centre sector and the second largest overall after Google’s proposed data centre in Andhra Pradesh.
Official sources said the conglomerate has sought around 250 acres of land from the state government for the project, which, if approved, would place Odisha at the forefront of India’s rapidly expanding AI and digital infrastructure ecosystem.
“The proposal is under detailed evaluation. The state government is examining its infrastructure requirements, including land, power availability, water supply, and connectivity. The tentative location for the project could be Cuttack (now Kataka), although it has not yet been finalised,” three senior officials familiar with the development told Business Standard.
