Schneider Electric India Data Center Growth

Schneider Electric anticipates its India data center business will grow significantly faster than its core operations over the next four to five years. This growth is primarily fueled by the increasing demand for AI-ready infrastructure in India. Sumati Sahgal, Vice-President for Secure Power and Data Centres, Greater India Zone, highlighted that data centers currently contribute 15-20% to Schneider Electric's India business and are experiencing double-digit growth. Astute Analytica projects India's data center market to reach $31.36 billion by 2035, with capacity potentially surging to 6-7 gigawatts by 2030. India is emerging as a key hub for both consumption and manufacturing of data center equipment, attracting investment beyond major cities. Schneider Electric, through its subsidiary Schneider Electric, is positioned as a crucial vendor, supplying essential infrastructure and manufacturing locally.
