AI
🎧
As global investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure intensifies, India is positioning itself as a key player. In April 2025, the Indian government unveiled a strategy centered around attracting foreign cloud providers, offering zero taxes on services executed through Indian data centers until 2047. Google’s $15 billion commitment, alongside Microsoft’s $17.5 billion plan and Amazon’s $35 billion investment, reflects this ambition. Simultaneously, Digital Connexion’s $11 billion investment in Andhra Pradesh, a 1-gigawatt AI-focused campus, underscores the nation’s growing data-center capacity, projected to exceed 8 gigawatts by 2030. These substantial investments, coupled with a revised Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme, indicate a deliberate effort to foster a domestic semiconductor ecosystem and solidify India’s role in the burgeoning AI landscape.
