Ashwini Vaishnaw Asserts Domestically Manufacturing AI Data Centre Equipment on Adani-Jabil Partnership

As the global race to build AI infrastructure intensifies, Adani Group and US-based manufacturing giant Jabil have partnered to produce vertically integrated AI and data centre infrastructure equipment in India.

Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw, as well as Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, inaugurated Jabil’s new manufacturing facility in Pune.

“AI data centres have become a huge growth engine worldwide. Manufacturing all the major electronic components of AI data centres in India is crucial," Vaishnaw said.

Jabil is also set to open a manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat, to produce silicon photonics.

Adani’s collaboration with Jabil aims to harness the latter’s large-scale manufacturing capacity for AI-ready data centre equipment, including building multi-gigawatt manufacturing capacity for high-density AI racks in India.

The platform is expected to produce advanced liquid-cooled AI racks, servers, storage systems, and networking equipment while also manufacturing supporting infrastructure such as power distribution units (PDUs), coolant distribution units (CDUs), transformers, switchgears, and thermal management systems.

The partnership combines Adani Group's infrastructure, renewable energy, and logistics capabilities with Jabil's six decades of engineering and advanced manufacturing expertise. Together, the companies plan to address the rapidly growing global demand for AI infrastructure, a market they estimate could exceed $3 trillion over the next seven years.

The alliance also aligns with Adani Group's broader vision of building 5 GW of green energy-powered AI-ready data centre capacity by 2035, backed by its previously announced $100 billion investment commitment in the sector.

Highlighting the strategic significance of the partnership, Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, said in a statement, "Our alliance with Jabil represents a decisive step in building India's complete AI infrastructure stack—from green power generation to world-class hardware manufacturing.”

For Jabil, which generated nearly $29.8 billion in revenue in FY25, the partnership expands its role in the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market. The company has recently strengthened its data centre capabilities through strategic investments and acquisitions focused on power management and cooling technologies.

"By combining Jabil's more than 60 years of engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities with Adani's formidable infrastructure and energy platform, we can expect to execute down to the rack level for hyperscalers and enterprises here in India and across the globe," Mike Dastoor, CEO of Jabil, said

The two companies are currently working on final operational frameworks and definitive agreements to advance the partnership.
