The group signed four memorandums of understanding (MoUs) for the investments at the World Economic Forum in Davos in the presence of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani.
The conglomerate's flagship firm Adani Enterprises will invest Rs 5,000 crore in setting up a 100 MW data centre that will use green energy, while its renewable energy unit Adani Green Energy will spend an equivalent amount in setting up two pump storage projects.

"The Adani portfolio of companies, one of the world's largest infrastructure conglomerates, and the Government of Telangana signed four MoUs for investment of over Rs 12,400 crore, at the World Economic Forum 2024," it said in a statement.
"These MoUs will help build the foundations for economic growth of Telangana that is green, sustainable, inclusive, and transformative."
Adani Enterprises will set up a 100 MW data centre powered by renewable energy over the next 5-7 years. It will work closely with local MSMEs and startups to develop a globally competent supplier base for the project, which will provide direct and indirect employment to 600 people.
Adani Green Energy will set up two pump storage projects—850 MW at Koyabestagudem and 500 MW at Nacharam.
In the next five years, Ambuja Cements will set up a 6 MTPA capacity cement plant across 70 acres. It would significantly enhance Ambuja's capability and employ over 4,000 people directly and indirectly.
