Apple supplier Jabil, Adani partner to build AI data center infra platform in India
Apple supplier Jabil, Adani partner to build AI data center infra platform in India June 15 (Reuters) - Electronics manufacturer Jabil JBL.N and India's Adani Enterprises ADEL.NS on Monday announced a partnership to build an integrated AI and data center infrastructure manufacturing platform in the country.
The platform will serve the infrastructure needs of global hyperscalers, co-location facilities and enterprise data centers, directly addressing the "explosive" local and global demand for AI-ready data center hardware, the companies said.
Jabil and Adani added they were working on operational frameworks and formal documentation for the partnership, but did not disclose any financial details.
India's digital infrastructure will see over $50 billion in planned spending across data center, cloud and AI ecosystems, they said.
The move aligns with Adani's plans to spend $100 billion on renewable-powered AI-ready data centers by 2035.
Jabil, which counts Apple as one of its customers, raised its annual forecast in February, betting on strong demand for infrastructure services from AI data centers.
