India's Power Stocks Gain as AI Data Centre Demand Drives Investor Interest
India's power and electrical equipment stocks have gained significant investor interest as proxies for the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, driven by rising data centre electricity demand. Companies like Hitachi Energy, Kirloskar Oil Engines, and HFCL have delivered strong returns, supported by growing data centre capacity and infrastructure needs. Brokerages also recommend power sector stocks such as Adani Power and JSW Energy for long-term gains. Foreign institutional investors have notably increased stakes in select firms like HFCL, reflecting confidence in the sector's growth potential amid digitalisation and AI expansion.
