Odisha Approves Rs 1.04 Lakh Crore Adani Data Centre Park
An Adani group firm has received state government approval for a data centre park in Odisha valued at Rs 1.04 lakh crore (Rs 1.04 trillion), as reported by BW Businessworld and ET Datacenters on 26 September 2026. Both outlets corroborate the promoter identity, the approval and the investment figure. No further project details — including specific location within Odisha, phasing, capacity or timeline — were available in the source headlines.
The approval places this project among a broader wave of data centre and technology investments that Odisha has been sanctioning. Projects India has reported separately on Odisha clearing Rs 1.45 lakh crore in tech investments, with data centres and AI leading that pipeline.

Adani's Existing Data Centre Footprint
Projects India already tracks two data centre projects linked to the Adani group in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The first, referenced as ACXNMI-02, is valued at Rs 5,000 crore. The second, ACXNMI-03, is valued at Rs 5,500 crore. The Odisha project, if it proceeds to construction, would represent a substantially larger commitment than either of those tracked Maharashtra assets, though no comparative ranking is made here beyond what the figures themselves show.
The group's broader tracked project portfolio in India spans sectors including chlor-alkali manufacturing at Mundra in Gujarat, a fishing berth project in Kerala and a bio-CNG plant in Ahmedabad, reflecting a diversified capital deployment pattern.
Communication Services Project Pipeline in India
Projects India currently tracks 39 live projects in the Communication Services sub-sector under Construction Projects. Of these, 28 are at the Under Approvals stage, eight are at Construction Started, and three are at Early or Announced stage. No new projects in this sub-sector were added to the platform in the last 90 days, and there are currently no open India tenders recorded in Construction Projects.
The geographic concentration of tracked Communication Services projects is notable. Maharashtra leads with 17 tracked projects, followed by Jharkhand with four and Tamil Nadu with four. Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka each account for two projects. Odisha does not yet feature prominently in the tracked Communication Services geography, making the Adani approval — if it advances — a potential new addition to the state's project footprint in this sub-sector.

Broader Data Centre Investment Context
Data centre investment has been accelerating across India, with several large commitments reported in recent months. Projects India has also reported on Anant Raj's plan to invest Rs 25,000 crore in data centre expansion, illustrating that multiple promoters are committing significant capital to this asset class. The Adani Odisha approval, at Rs 1.04 lakh crore, is among the larger single-project figures reported in this sub-sector based on available headlines.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
A data centre park of this reported scale would typically require a wide range of civil, electrical and mechanical contractors, as well as equipment suppliers across categories including power infrastructure, cooling systems, structured cabling and security. However, because the project is currently at the approvals stage — no construction start has been reported — procurement activity is unlikely to be imminent.
Suppliers and contractors active in Communication Services construction should monitor this project as it moves through approvals and into detailed engineering. The current pipeline data shows that 28 of the 39 tracked Communication Services projects in India are still at the Under Approvals stage, meaning a significant volume of work is positioned to enter procurement over coming quarters. Maharashtra remains the most active state by project count, but Odisha's recent approvals activity signals growing opportunity in that state.
