Schneider Electric expects its data center business in India to outpace its broader growth over the next four to five years, driven by surging demand for AI-ready infrastructure, according to senior executive Sumati Sahgal.
Data centers currently account for 15 to 20 percent of Schneider's India business and are expanding at a double-digit pace. Sahgal said the segment will become a much larger share, fueled by strong themes in data centers and grid modernization.
India's data center market is projected to reach $31.36 billion by 2035, with capacity expected to surge from 1.5 gigawatts today to 6-7 gigawatts by 2030. Investment is spreading beyond Mumbai and Chennai into states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.
The company supplies critical infrastructure including UPS systems, switchgear, precision cooling, and energy management software, positioning itself as a key vendor for AI workloads.
