India Plans Data-Centre Capacity Growth Amid Renewable Energy Expansion and Grid Challenges
India's data-centre capacity is expected to rise significantly from under 2 GW to 24-26 GW, with its share of overall electricity demand remaining limited, according to the Central Electricity Authority. This growth has been factored into future power demand projections alongside plans to expand renewable energy capacity to around 800 GW by 2035-36. Meanwhile, renewable energy providers anticipate increased demand driven by data centres, especially amid global shifts favoring India. However, the national grid operator warns that sudden power shifts by data centres during faults could challenge grid stability.
