In a significant development, AdaniConneX, a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, has secured a financing of up to $1.44 billion from lenders for the construction of data centers. This endeavor aims to meet the burgeoning demand for digital services by establishing nine data centers with a combined capacity of 1 gigawatt by 2030. Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk embarked on an unexpected visit to China on Sunday. Musk’s itinerary reportedly includes meetings with senior Chinese officials in Beijing to discuss the deployment of Full-Self Driving (FSD) software in China and to seek approval for the transfer of data collected in the country abroad for training algorithms related to autonomous driving technologies. This trip to China comes just over a week after Musk postponed a planned visit to India to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing pressing obligations at Tesla. Turning to the political arena, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the election campaign trail in Karnataka on Sunday, addressing poll rallies in Belagavi, Uttara Kannada, Davanagere, and Ballari. The BJP had faced defeat in the 2023 assembly elections in Karnataka, and during a poll rally, the Prime Minister alleged that the Congress government was undermining the seeds of development sown by the BJP in the state. In another significant political development, Arvinder Singh Lovely resigned from his position as the Delhi Congress chief on Sunday, dealing a setback to the party ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections. Lovely cited the AAP-Congress alliance as a contributing factor to his decision, fueling speculation that he may join the BJP. However, he refuted these claims, stating that he had no intention of joining another political party. Finally, the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru unfolded in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on Sunday. The match garnered attention due to the ongoing debate surrounding India’s star batter, Virat Kohli, and his position in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Despite facing criticism from veterans and online commentators, Kohli remained resolute in his performance. Sai Sudharsan’s explosive 84-run knock and Shahrukh Khan’s maiden IPL half-century propelled Gujarat Titans to a commendable score of 200/3 after 20 overs.
