India's Adani Group has announced its intention to establish a 48MW data center in the southern Indian state of Telangana.

Karan Adani, the son of Adani Group founder Gautam Adani and the Managing Director of Adani Ports, announced on Monday that Rs 2,500 crore ($280 million) would be invested into the facility.

Details about the data center’s exact location and development timeline were not revealed.

Telangana is a land-locked state home to the city of Hyderabad, one of India's main data center hubs.

It is also unclear whether the 48MW facility will be developed by the Adani Group’s own data center platform, AdaniConneX, which is a joint venture with established operator EdgeConneX.

The Adani Group is one of India’s biggest conglomerates with interests spanning multiple businesses. Like many other Indian companies, big and small, it has proven its willingness to bet big on the country’s growing appetite for AI and data centers.

In late November, it was reported that the Adani Group would invest up to $5 billion in a Google data center campus situated in the southern Indian state of Visakhapatnam.

India’s data center pipeline is much larger than its current capacity. According to DC Byte, as of April 2025, the country only offers 1.2GW of live capacity in comparison to the 7.7GW worth of data centers under construction, committed, and in their early stages, with the latter category constituting 57 percent of the country’s total supply.
