Uber partners with Adani Group to set up first data centre in India
New Delhi: Ride-hailing platform Uber has partnered with Adani Group to establish its first data centre in India, marking a major expansion of the company’s technology and innovation presence in the country.
Uber Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi announced the development on Wednesday following his meeting with Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad.
Khosrowshahi said the partnership builds on Uber’s existing collaboration with the Adani Group and reflects India’s growing role as a global innovation hub for the company.
“Great to meet Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad this morning and build on our existing partnership with the Adani Group. As India fast emerges as a leading innovation hub for Uber, we are setting up our first data centre in the country with the Adani Group to test and deploy our technology,” he said in a social media post.
He added that the facility is expected to be ready later this year and will support Uber’s efforts to develop and scale technology solutions globally from India.
The announcement comes during Khosrowshahi’s ongoing visit to India and adds to the growing momentum in the country’s data centre and artificial intelligence infrastructure sector.
Earlier, Adani Enterprises, through its joint venture company AdaniConneX, partnered with Google to develop what has been described as India’s largest AI data centre campus and green energy infrastructure in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
The proposed AI hub in Visakhapatnam is expected to involve an estimated investment of around USD 15 billion between 2026 and 2030. The project includes large-scale data centre operations supported by subsea cable connectivity and clean energy infrastructure to power advanced AI workloads.
The initiative is being developed in collaboration with ecosystem partners including Bharti Airtel and aims to strengthen India’s computing capacity and AI ecosystem.
According to the companies, the project also aligns with sustainability goals through investments in transmission infrastructure, renewable energy generation and energy storage systems in Andhra Pradesh.
