Global ride-hailing major Uber is set to establish its first data centre in India in partnership with the Adani Group, marking a significant expansion of the company’s technology and infrastructure footprint in one of its fastest-growing markets.
The announcement was made by Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi on Wednesday following his meeting with Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad. The facility is expected to become operational later this year, although the companies have not disclosed the size or financial details of the investment.
The move comes as Uber deepens its India focus amid growing demand for digital mobility, engineering talent and AI-led innovation. India has increasingly become a strategic market for global technology firms looking to build scalable products and back-end infrastructure.
India emerges as Uber’s innovation hub
Taking to social media platform X, Khosrowshahi said, “Great to meet @gautam_adani in Ahmedabad this morning and build on our existing partnership with the Adani group.”
He further added, “As India fast emerges as a leading innovation hub for @Uber, we are setting up our first data centre in the country with the Adani Group to test and deploy our tech. Ready later this year, this investment will help us build at scale – from India, for the world.”
The development underscores Uber’s broader strategy of leveraging India not just as a large consumer market, but also as a global technology and engineering base.
Adani-Uber partnership deepens
The Adani Group and Uber already share an existing partnership, though details of the expanded collaboration around the data centre were not immediately available.
The proposed facility is expected to support Uber’s growing technological capabilities, including platform scaling, testing and deployment of new mobility solutions. The announcement also aligns with India’s increasing push to position itself as a global digital infrastructure and data centre hub.
