India currently has about 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of [installed data centre capacity](https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/telcos-media-tech/google-plans-us15-billion-data-centre-hub-biggest-india-bet), but “almost all of it is non-AI”, he told reporters at a virtual media roundtable on Tuesday (Jul 28).
