India is rapidly emerging as a global AI and digital infrastructure hub, fueled by explosive growth in data generation, cloud adoption, digital public infrastructure, and AI-enabled applications.
Despite generating nearly 15–20% of the world’s digital data, India currently accounts for only a small fraction of global data centre capacity, creating a significant infrastructure gap. The“AI Power-Play: India Data Center Capacity Could Surge to 19–23 GW by 2030” report explores how India’s AI and digital economy could drive a 12x–14x increase in operational data centre capacity, requiring 19–23 GW of capacity by 2030, ~150–170 TWh of annual power consumption, and $350–435 billion of cumulative infrastructure investment. More importantly, the report highlights that the real AI opportunity lies in the non-compute infrastructure, more so in the broader power and infrastructure ecosystem that enables AI at scale.
