AI Drives India's $90B Data Centre Investment Boom

AI Drives India's $90B Data Centre Investment Boom

India is experiencing a huge boom in data centre investments, with nearly $90 billion being poured into the sector.

This is driven by the need for more computing power due to artificial intelligence, cloud services, and digital platforms.

Big companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are leading these investments.

While this growth is good for the economy, it also raises concerns about the environment, especially water and electricity use.

India currently has 271 data centres, with most located in major cities.

The government expects this trend to continue, but it's important to balance growth with sustainability.
