India's data centre sector is attracting a broadening set of global technology commitments, with ride-hailing platform Uber Technologies(NYSE:UBER) announcing a partnership with Adani Group to establish its first data centre in the country, state owned Prasar Bharti reported.

The facility is expected to become operational later in 2026 and positioned as a base for developing and scaling technology solutions for Uber's global operations. Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi disclosed the arrangement in a post on social media platform X following a meeting with Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad on May 13, 2026.

The announcement adds to an already substantial pipeline of data centre investment being channelled through the Adani Group. Adani Enterprises(NSE:ADANIENT), through its joint venture AdaniConneX, is separately developing what has been described as India's largest artificial intelligence data centre campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, in collaboration with Google, Bharti Airtel(NSE:BHARTIARTL) and other ecosystem partners.

That project carries an estimated investment of $15bn between 2026 and 2030, encompassing large-scale data centre operations, subsea cable connectivity and clean energy infrastructure including renewable generation and storage systems.

The concentration of hyperscaler and technology company partnerships within the Adani Group's infrastructure platform reflects both the conglomerate's land and power access advantages and the broader acceleration of India's digital infrastructure buildout as data localisation requirements and AI workload growth drive demand for domestic computing capacity.

For investors, the Uber partnership and the Visakhapatnam campus together signal that Adani's data centre platform is becoming a preferred entry point for global technology firms seeking Indian infrastructure exposure at scale.
