India's Data Centre Industry Expands Amid AI Growth and Infrastructure Challenges
India's data centre industry is rapidly expanding due to growing demand for AI, cloud computing, and digital services. The talent pool could grow from 30,000 to around 270,000 with targeted reskilling, though adapting to AI's higher infrastructure demands poses challenges. Power availability and rising energy consumption are key concerns, prompting developers to explore alternative energy solutions. Additionally, increased power density, cooling needs, water scarcity, and cyber security risks complicate site selection and operational resilience.
