Adani Enterprises, Jabil sign MoU for AI hardware JV
Adani Enterprises and US-based Jabil Inc have signed a non-binding MoU to form a 50:50 joint venture to manufacture AI and data centre equipment in India. The proposed venture will produce AI racks, servers, storage, networking gear, power distribution units, liquid-cooling systems and transformers, with a multi-gigawatt manufacturing capacity.
The JV will serve data centre operators, hyperscalers and enterprises in India and global markets. It follows the companies' June 2026 announcement of a strategic alliance. The venture is subject to definitive agreements and regulatory approvals.
Adani Group has committed $100 billion to develop 5 GW of green-energy-powered AI-ready data centres by 2035. For Jabil, which reported $36 billion in revenue in fiscal 2026, the partnership expands its footprint in India's data centre market.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage is uniform across all three outlets, each reporting the same facts from the company release: the non-binding MoU, the 50:50 structure, the product portfolio and the next-step caveat. All three carry identical quotes from Gautam Adani and Jabil CEO Mike Dastoor, and none adds independent scrutiny or critical framing. The uniformity reflects wire-style corporate reporting: the story is presented as a straightforward business announcement with no government angle, no opposition reaction and no scepticism about the binding agreement timeline or the size of the investment. The key open point, stated by all three, is that the JV still requires definitive agreements and approvals.
