Twin Axes of India’s AI future: Nuclear and Renewables
An ecosystem built for digital‑era competitiveness. India stands at a critical juncture in its energy evolution. As one of the world’s fastest‑growing economies, the focus is shifting toward dependable, low‑carbon power at scale. AI accelerates this urgency: data centres already consume about 1.5 GW and could reach 10 GW by 2030, with cooling alone accounting for nearly 40% of their electricity use.
Clean Energy as an Equaliser
India's clean energy transition is anchored in resilience and security: strategic security that cuts dependence on volatile imports, technology momentum that outlasts commodity swings, and distributed foundations that widen access and equity. That combination makes it a leveller.
India is now at a Clean Energy inflection point
The world today is increasingly getting split into two kinds of countries. The first group, which features the US, among others, has abundant oil and gas and is happy to continue with that energy model. The second group, which features India, does not. So, for us, clean energy is not just about climate — it is about affordability, resilience, and security. That is why the clean energy transition matters so profoundly here.
