Goal: increase capacity to about 7.5 gigawatts by 2030.

Investment expected: over 3 lakh crore Indian rupees in four years.

Big companies called hyperscalers are signing long‑term contracts.

Most new power will be needed in three cities: Visakhapatnam, Mumbai, Hyderabad.

📖

These centres will be able to use about five times more power, like five big light bulbs together. ⚡

The growth is helped by new smart computer programs and more people using the internet.

Building them needs lots of money and steady electricity, so careful planning is important.
