While cloud adoption started the wave, AI workloads now demand 10-20x more power per rack. Hyperscalers like Google, AWS, and Microsoft are pouring over $300B into AI-ready campuses. And it’s not just tech giants; Adani and Reliance are betting big too. With 850MW of pre-committed AI demand and regulations like DPDPA forcing data to stay local, India’s digital backbone is being rebuilt from the ground up. The race is no longer for land; it’s for clean, reliable power. Mumbai and Chennai still lead, but Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru are rising fast. If you’re tracking India’s tech future, watch the data centres; they’re where the real infrastructure revolution is happening.
