AirTrunk to invest $30bn in India — 5 GW for AI infrastructure

Friends, I want to share news from the AI and data-centre sector. AirTrunk has announced a $30bn investment and targets 5 GW of capacity by 2030.

It entered the market by acquiring Lumina CloudInfra; is preparing a 3 GW project in Raigad and a 600 MW pipeline across Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad.
The government offers tax incentives; analysts project capacity to reach ~8 GW by 2030.
Risks include elevated demand for power and water; Deloitte notes additional tens of TWh by decade-end.
AirTrunk relies on state support, skilled personnel and access to renewables.

Why it matters: these investments will accelerate cloud and AI services but require systemic infrastructure planning.
Are regions prepared for such growth?
