India Plans Data-Centre Capacity Growth Amid Renewable Energy Expansion Targets
India's data-centre capacity is projected to rise significantly from under 2 GW to 24-26 GW, though its impact on overall electricity demand is expected to remain limited, according to Central Electricity Authority Chairperson Ghanshyam Prasad. This anticipated growth has been incorporated into future power demand projections, with generation capacity being expanded accordingly. India aims to increase its renewable energy capacity to around 800 GW by 2035-36, with current installed renewable capacity at 308 GW. Additionally, wind power installations are expected to grow to complement solar energy, addressing supply variability beyond daylight hours.
