Data center capacity in the country has expanded from approximately 375 MW in 2020 to around 1500 MW by 2025.

The data center sector in India is expanding steadily. The country's overall data center capacity has expanded from approximately 375 MW in 2020 to around 1500 MW by 2025.

Under the AI computing capacity framework, 14 empanelled service providers/data centers have onboarded about 38,231 GPUs to facilitate AI development.

Startups, researchers, universities, and other qualifying users can access these services at a discounted rate of ₹65 per hour. This is almost one-third of the global average cost.

These data centers are located around the country, including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Noida, and Jamnagar.

The government is aware of the infrastructure requirements of the data centre ecosystem, such as energy and water.

The government's planning process takes into account the predicted electricity demand from the rise of AI and other large-scale data centres. According to the Ministry of Power, electricity demand from data centers is expected to reach 13.56 GW by 2031-32.

India's national transmission system is constantly being extended to meet increasing electrical demand. It is adequately prepared to provide consistent power supply throughout areas.

Parliament recently passed the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Act, which aims to boost the nuclear energy ecosystem.
