Brookfield sees 6.5 GW of AI data-centre capacity coming online in India

Brookfield Asset Management expects about 6.5 gigawatts of data-centre capacity for artificial intelligence to come online in India over the next five years, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

Brookfield, a New York-based global alternative asset manager, expects AI inferencing ‌demand in ⁠India ⁠to grow, Arpit Agrawal, managing partner and head of India and ​the Middle East for Brookfield’s infrastructure group, said.

AI inference is when trained AI models generate answers, content or predictions. The 6.5 gigawatt estimate refers to India’s wider data centre market, not Brookfield’s own planned ⁠capacity.
