Global tech giants and Indian companies are heavily investing in AI-ready data centres across India, aiming to increase the country's compute capacity from 1.5GW in 2025 to up to 14GW by 2035; this is supported by favourable policies such as data localisation laws and tax holidays, designed to establish India as a global AI infrastructure hub and generate specialised engineering jobs.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
India’s compute power is rapidly growing, opening new opportunities for you to supply AI infrastructure or serve clients needing localised, high-capacity processing. This buildout creates a critical market for specialised hardware and talent, not just hosting services.
