Empower India Limited announced its strategic expansion into sustainable digital infrastructure solutions on September 7, 2026. The company stated it is positioned to benefit from the rapid development of India's artificial intelligence computing ecosystem.

Strategic Context

The Government of India's IndiaAI Mission, announced in 2024, carries an allocation of ₹10,371.92 crore. This initiative aims to accelerate the development of the country's AI ecosystem through investments in computing capacity, data infrastructure, and applications.

India has onboarded over 38,000 GPUs under this framework. The government plans to add an additional 20,000 GPUs, signaling a significant expansion in national AI computing infrastructure.

Infrastructure Demand Drivers

The scale-up of AI computing is driving demand for modern data centers, high-performance computing, power infrastructure, and energy-efficient cooling solutions. India's data-center capacity is projected to increase nearly fourfold:

This growth creates requirements for supporting infrastructure capable of handling higher computing densities while optimizing power consumption and cooling.

Business Opportunities

Empower India identified specific areas where it expects to benefit from this sector growth:

• Energy-efficient data-center infrastructure for modern workloads
• Power optimization and reliable power systems for continuous uptime
• Advanced cooling and thermal-management solutions for heat-intensive hardware
• Sustainable infrastructure for high-density computing aligned with green energy goals

Mr. Rajesh Chavan stated that India's AI infrastructure expansion presents a strong growth opportunity for sustainable digital infrastructure. He noted that Empower India's foray into this sector is well positioned to benefit from rising demand for energy-efficient, reliable, and scalable infrastructure.
