Adani Group and US-based electronics manufacturing giant Jabil are targeting a strategic partnership to build an AI data center hardware manufacturing platform in India.The Adani-Jabil Venture will focus on producing critical hardware required for AI-ready data centers, helping meet rising demand from hyperscalers, enterprises, and cloud service providers across global markets. India's manufacturing ambitions are gaining momentum amid global turmoil as the country steps up efforts to attract foreign investment and strengthen its position in global supply chains.Speaking at the Bharat Innovates 2026 event in Nice, France, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal invited French companies to expand their manufacturing presence in India. He said that changing global economic conditions and geopolitical uncertainty have created new opportunities for India to emerge as a trusted manufacturing and innovation hub. India's push to strengthen its power infrastructure and domestic manufacturing ecosystem is set to receive a significant boost, with Rs 2,000 crore investment planned for a large power transformer facility in Gujarat.The new plant, to be located in Karjan near Vadodara, comes at a time when electricity demand in India is rising steadily, driven by industrial growth, urbanization, and the ongoing energy transition. Large power transformers are critical to expanding and stabilizing transmission networks, making such investments central to the country's long-term energy security. Gujarat is stepping up its efforts to become India's next semiconductor powerhouse with the launch of a new industrial policy focused on semiconductors, research and development (R&D), electronics, and advanced manufacturing.The state aims to attract Rs 10 lakh crore in investments over the next five years while supporting its long-term goal of building a USD 3.5 trillion economy by 2047. The policy introduces flexible incentives, support for innovation, and measures to attract global and domestic companies as competition among states for high-tech manufacturing investments continues to grow.
