New Delhi:<\/strong> Global technology giants have pledged to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into artificial intelligence initiatives linked to India, as the country hosted a major AI summit that brought together world leaders and top industry executives.<\/p>\n

The surge in commitments comes at a time when governments and companies worldwide are racing to expand their AI capabilities.<\/p>\n

Global hyperscalers such as Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and Alphabet are expected to spend as much as $700 billion combined on AI-related capital expenditure this year.<\/p>\n

In India, major industrial groups have announced massive plans. Reliance Industries is reportedly planning to invest $110 billion in data centres and related infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Adani Group has outlined a $100 billion investment plan over the next decade to build AI-focused data centres.<\/p>\n

Several American firms also unveiled major commitments during the summit. Microsoft said it is on track to invest $50 billion in AI projects across the Global South by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n

OpenAI and chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices announced partnerships with Tata Group to strengthen AI capabilities in India.<\/p>\n

US-based asset manager Blackstone said it participated in a $600 million equity funding round for Indian AI infrastructure firm Neysa.<\/p>\n

The event highlighted India\u2019s ambition to become a global technology powerhouse. The country has approved $18 billion worth of semiconductor projects to strengthen its domestic supply chain.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the United States and India are moving closer to a trade agreement aimed at lowering tariffs and boosting economic cooperation.<\/p>\n

During the summit, representatives from both countries signed the Pax Silica agreement, a US-led initiative launched under the Trump administration to secure the global supply chain for silicon-based technologies.<\/p>\n

Top global AI leaders attended the event, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Anthropic chief Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis.<\/p>\n
