India Expands AI Data Centre Infrastructure Amid Resource and Environmental Concerns
India is rapidly expanding its data centre infrastructure to support AI and digital growth, with major investments from firms like TCS, Reliance, and Adani. This expansion aims to reduce reliance on foreign technology and foster local innovation. However, concerns about energy consumption, water use, and environmental impacts are rising, prompting calls for careful planning and adoption of efficient cooling and renewable energy solutions. Lessons from US data centre restrictions highlight the need to balance growth with resource management and community considerations.
