India's government aims to strengthen the country's digital ecosystem by focusing on data centres and AI compute facilities. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is looking to make the infrastructure more resilient and ensure sufficient power supply for data centres and AI applications. India's data centre operational capacity is projected to reach 2000-2100 MW by 2027, according to ICRA. The ministry is also exploring the possibility of incentivizing green power for these facilities. Globally, tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are securing contracts for nuclear power supply to meet the growing power demands of data centres.
