Adani eyes ₹1 trillion AI data centre project in Odisha. August 04, 2026 Adani Group has proposed an investment of ₹1 trillion to set up a large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) data centre in Odisha and has sought around 250 acres of land from the state government for the project. If cleared, the facility could emerge as one of India's largest AI data infrastructure developments, second only to Google's planned 1 GW project in Andhra Pradesh. The proposal is currently under evaluation by the Odisha government, with authorities assessing key requirements such as land, power availability, water resources, and connectivity. Cuttack has been identified as a possible location, although a final decision is yet to be taken, according to officials familiar with the matter. The project is expected to be a standalone investment by Adani Group rather than a joint venture. The company has also sought incentives from the state, and the proposal will be placed before a high-level clearance authority chaired by the chief minister once due diligence is completed and terms are finalised. The move aligns with Adani Group's broader strategy to invest $100 billion by 2035 in renewable-powered, hyperscale, AI-ready data centres. The group currently operates a data centre in Chennai through a joint venture with EdgeConneX and is developing additional facilities in Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad. For Odisha, the proposal marks a significant step in its push to attract investments in emerging sectors such as AI, electronics, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure. Traditionally focused on metals and mining, the state is positioning itself as a new hub for digital infrastructure, supported by land availability, power capacity, coastal connectivity, and policy support. The state already hosts several data centre initiatives, including a ₹169 crore facility by the Reserve Bank of India nearing completion and a ₹266.48 crore state-run next-generation data centre. Adani Group also has an existing memorandum of understanding for a ₹800 crore hyperscale data centre in the state. Other investments include Zoho Corporation's ₹306 crore facility in Khordha and HCLTech's proposed AI-optimised data centre within a planned Sovereign AI Park, with an outlay of ₹14,257 crore. The proposal underscores intensifying competition among Indian conglomerates to build large-scale AI and cloud infrastructure. Alongside Adani's plan, Google is developing a $15 billion AI data centre in Visakhapatnam, while Reliance Industries has proposed a ₹1.08 trillion gigascale AI data centre and cable landing station in Andhra Pradesh, with land already allocated for the project.

Adani plans ₹1.5 trillion investment in Odisha nuclear power projects.

Adani plans ₹1.5 trillion investment in Odisha nuclear power projects. The group has proposed two nuclear power plants, a thermal power station and pumped storage projects, with the plan to undergo detailed scrutiny before any approval. Adani Group | Photo: Bloomberg After the Tata conglomerate, the Adani group wants to invest in nuclear power in Odisha. To this effect, it has given a proposal to the Odisha government to set up two nuclear-power plants, each with a capacity of 2,800 megawatts (Mw), with an investment of around ₹1.5 trillion. The conglomerate has also suggested setting up an ultra-supercritical thermal-power plant and a series of pumped storage power projects in the state. If approved, the proposal would mark one of the largest private investments in Odisha's energy sector and place the state at the centre of India's next phase of nuclear-power expansion. An Adani group delegation led by Subrat Tripathy, president (business development), Adani Ports and SEZ, presented the proposals to Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo, deputy chief minister holding the energy portfolio, in Bhubaneswar, officials said on Friday. The state government has already approved Adani's 1.8 gigawatt (Gw) pumped storage project in Nayagarh district. The company estimates that the projects together will create more than 22,000 direct and indirect jobs, besides substantially augmenting Odisha's power-generation capacity. Officials said this was the second proposal from a private entity on nuclear-power projects the state had received so far. Apart from Adani, Tata Power has also proposed to set up a nuclear-power plant - in Malkangiri district - while NTPC has also evinced an interest in investing in nuclear energy in the state. "The proposal from Adani will undergo detailed discussions on project feasibility, land availability, regulatory clearances, environmental approvals and implementation schedules before any final decision is taken," a senior official of the energy department told Business Standard. The nuclear proposal assumes significance because it is among the first major investment plans announced after the enactment of the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Act, 2025, which opened up India's civil nuclear power sector to regulated private participation. The piece of legislation forms a key pillar of the Centre's Nuclear Energy Mission, which targets 100 Gw of nuclear power capacity by 2047, compared to India's installed capacity of less than 10 Gw now. The proposal has come at a time when Odisha is emerging as one of India's fastest-growing industrial destinations. The state has attracted proposals for large steel plants, aluminium projects, green hydrogen facilities and hyperscale data centres, all of which require reliable round-the-clock electricity. The Adani group has been steadily strengthening its energy portfolio through thermal power, renewable energy, transmission networks, pumped storage projects and green hydrogen initiatives. It is also exploring nuclear power projects in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Nuclear energy would provide the group with a stable source of carbon-free baseload power, complementing its rapidly expanding renewable energy business. Senior officials, including Vishal Kumar Dev, additional chief secretary of the energy department; Bhaskar Jyoti Sarma, chairman and managing director of Odisha Power Transmission Corporation; and Satyapriya Rath, managing director of GRIDCO attended the meeting.
