Ahmedabad, May 14(CXO Media): Uber is setting up its first data centre in India with the Adani Group, marking a bigger technology shift beyond ride-hailing. The move signals how global companies are increasingly using India as a base for AI infrastructure, cloud systems and large-scale engineering operations.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced the partnership after meeting Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad, saying the facility will support testing and deployment of technology in India and is expected to go live later this year.
Why This Matters
The development comes at a time when demand for AI-ready data centres is rising sharply in India. Instead of relying only on overseas infrastructure, technology firms are increasing local data processing capabilities to improve speed, reduce operational delays and support growing AI workloads.
For Uber, India is already one of its biggest technology markets outside the US, with Bengaluru playing a major role in engineering, mobility systems and backend development.

India’s Data Centre Race
The announcement also strengthens Adani Group’s push into digital infrastructure. Earlier this year, the group said it plans to invest $100 billion in renewable-energy-powered, AI-ready data centres by 2035 through Adani Connex.
Uber’s entry into India’s data centre ecosystem places it among companies increasing investments in cloud and AI infrastructure as competition intensifies in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets.
