Data Centers

Business Overview

As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across industries, the role of digital infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental shift. Rising compute intensity, higher power densities, and compressed deployment timelines are redefining how data centers are planned, built, and operated.

Founded in 2021 as a joint venture between AEL and EdgeConneX, AdaniConneX has steadily built capabilities and scale in line with the evolving requirements of cloud and AI-driven digital infrastructure. AdaniConneX's ambition is to develop a 2 GW renewable-powered data center footprint by 2030, aligned with India’s AI-led digital growth. AdaniConneX combines the infrastructure depth and integrated energy capabilities of the Adani Group with the global data center development and operations expertise of EdgeConneX, which has built and operated 80+ data centers across 60+ markets. This partnership provides a strong foundation for designing and delivering complex data center campuses that meet global standards in engineering, operations, and sustainability.

Over the past few years, AdaniConneX has progressed from initial development to operational delivery across multiple regions in India, evolving into one of the country’s fastest-scaling data center platforms. This growth has occurred amid accelerated deployment cycles and the emergence of high-density AI workloads, which demand greater execution discipline, energy reliability, and speed to market. In response, AdaniConneX offers Build-to-Suit (BTS) and Energy-as-a-Solution (EaaS) models to address customer-specific requirements and enable scalable infrastructure aligned with the evolving AI landscape. This approach is underpinned by a strong focus on safety, quality, project execution, resilience, and sustainability.

AdaniConneX’s commitment to operational excellence has been recognised through several industry accolades, including the Sword of Honour from the British Safety Council and the Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year Award for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024) in the Southeast Asia and APAC Data Center Operations and Infrastructure category.

Product/Service Offerings

Built-to-Suit (BTS) Solutions

AdaniConneX delivers fully customised Built-to-Suit (BTS) data center solutions, enabling customers to plan and deploy infrastructure at scale across India with greater visibility and control. Ranging from megawatt-scale facilities to giga-scale campuses, these solutions are designed to support high-density workloads over long operating lifecycles. A key differentiator of AdaniConneX’s BTS model is its ability to de-risk customer expansion in India. By leveraging the Adani Group’s integrated infrastructure ecosystem spanning land aggregation, power availability, and large-scale project execution, AdaniConneX can support customers early in their India journey, from site selection and master planning to delivery and operations. This integrated approach reduces development risk, shortens timelines, and improves predictability across multi-year expansion programmes.

AdaniConneX works closely with customers as long-term partners, aligning infrastructure design, energy strategy, and deployment phasing with evolving business and technology roadmaps. These capabilities have underpinned long-term relationships with global technology companies and hyperscalers, reflecting confidence in AdaniConneX’s ability to deliver secure, scalable, and energy-efficient infrastructure at scale while supporting sustained growth in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies.

AdaniConneX Promise:

Energy-as-a-Solution (EaaS)

At scale, digital infrastructure is defined by energy. AdaniConneX’s Energy-as-a-Solution (EaaS) model is differentiated by its ability to integrate energy planning into the data center lifecycle. Leveraging the extensive energy infrastructure capabilities of the Adani Group, AdaniConneX incorporates power sourcing, approvals, infrastructure development, operations, and real-time monitoring as a unified framework. This integrated approach allows energy to be planned alongside site selection, campus design, and capacity phasing, reducing execution risk and improving predictability for large, long-duration deployments. By managing the full energy value chain, AdaniConneX can support reliable, resilient, and increasingly low-carbon power solutions aligned with both customer requirements and India’s energy transition priorities.

Colocation & Managed Services

AdaniConneX’s Colocation and Managed Services offering is designed to support organisations across stages of scale, from growing enterprises to global hyperscalers seeking reliable, secure, and operationally efficient digital infrastructure in India. AdaniConneX's colocation facility provides scalable, high-availability environments built to global standards, enabling customers to deploy infrastructure with flexibility while retaining control over their IT assets. Complementing this, AdaniConneX offers a suite of managed services covering day-to-day data center operations, monitoring, and infrastructure management allowing customers to focus on core business priorities while reducing operational complexity.

AdaniConneX Infrastructure Portfolio

As India’s digital economy continues to scale, driven by cloud adoption, AI deployment, and increasing enterprise digitisation, the availability of reliable, well-operated data center infrastructure has become imperative. AdaniConneX’s infrastructure portfolio has been developed to support this demand, combining scale, geographic diversity, and operational discipline.

As of today, AdaniConneX operates 55+ MW of live data center capacity across multiple locations in India. This operational footprint reflects the transition from development to delivery, with assets designed to support large, long-duration workloads for enterprises, global technology providers, and hyperscalers.

Operational performance across the portfolio is benchmarked against global data center standards, with a strong focus on availability, resilience, and consistency of service delivery. All live sites have maintained 100% availability, reflecting disciplined operations, robust design, and mature operating processes across facilities.
