AI is powering the future. But what is powering AI? As India positions itself as a global hub for artificial intelligence and digital services, #DataCentres are expanding at an unprecedented pace. Yet behind every AI model, cloud platform, and digital service lies a fast-growing demand for electricity, land, and water. In partnership with @SYSTEMIQ_Ltd , our new study on India’s data centre growth unpacks a fundamental question: Can India scale its digital ambitions without locking in #carbon-intensive infrastructure? Launched today at the @OfficialINDIAai Impact Summit 2026, the study finds that while India is emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing data centre markets, its long-term resilience hinges on the availability of land, energy, and water. Stakeholder insights reveal how strategic siting, power, cooling, and backup choices can secure the sustainable acceleration of #AI. The study recommends: 🔹 Proactive grid planning so new data centre clusters are matched with renewable energy capacity and transmission readiness. 🔹 Stronger renewable procurement pathways, including developing regulatory frameworks that allow BESS integration and monetising data centres as a flexible load. 🔹 Pilot water-efficient cooling technologies to reduce pressure on water systems. 🔹 Transparent reporting frameworks for energy, emissions, and resource use. 🔹 Incentives that reward green data centres, not just rapid expansion. 📘 Read Scaling India’s Data Centre Ecosystem: Stakeholder perspectives on infrastructure, energy, and resilience at ceew.in/publications/h… ✍️ By @vishaltrip, Debanjan Bagui, Prateek Aggarwal, Lotte Straathof, Lara Rabinowitz, Daksh Jain, and Avantika Vashishtha @ajainme, @GhoshArunabha, @amitabhk87
