India's Data Centre Growth Spurs Infrastructure Adaptations and Generator Demand
India's growing data centre industry is raising concerns about potential strain on urban power and water supplies. Yotta Data Services CEO Sunil Gupta emphasized that large operators use dedicated power networks and closed-loop cooling to reduce local resource dependence. Meanwhile, the surge in data centres is boosting sales of diesel-powered generator sets, essential for backup power during outages. Companies like Cummins India and Kirloskar Oil Engines are expanding to meet this demand, as India anticipates data centres will add significant power demand by 2032.
