How is Eaton leveraging digital intelligence in switchgear to address the evolving demands of India's smart cities and data centres?

India is undergoing a major transformation in urban infrastructure, driven by smart city initiatives, metro expansions and industrial corridor developments. Simultaneously, the data centre market is experiencing significant growth, with capacity expected to reach 2 GW by 2026-27. This surge is fuelled by Al, 5G and cloud adoption.

At Eaton, we view this as a tremendous opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to India's infrastructure evolution. Our medium- and low-voltage switchgear solutions are designed to meet the complex demands of modern urban environments and mission-critical facilities, such as data centres. We are integrating digital intelligence into our switchgear systems to enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and enhanced energy management.
