- Methodology
- Modeled from disclosed and projected data-center capacity additions in India, cross-referenced against average grid draw per MW of AI compute and adjusted for expected efficiency gains through 2030. Figures from 2027 onward are projections, not observed values.
- Caveat
- Projected years assume announced data-center capacity is built on schedule; slippage in grid connection has historically pushed such timelines back.
