What happened
Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada warned that green power generation is not keeping pace with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies. Speaking at the Central Electricity Authority's Brainstorming Conclave, he stressed the need to strengthen electricity infrastructure. Prasada noted that India is preparing to introduce a policy for data centers, viewing the country as fertile ground for hyperscaler data centers. He also cautioned that the expansion of energy-intensive data centers should not raise electricity costs for ordinary consumers.
