The digital infrastructure in India is facing resilience, energy and sustainability challenges. The Data Centre sector, in particular, needs high and consistent energy. Here, Schneider Electric can be seen addressing these issues with state-of-the-art innovations. Venkataraman Swaminathan shares more in talks with EPR. Let us know from him.

How are AI-enabled platforms and microgrid architectures enhancing resilience and uptime for data centres in India's unstable grid regions?

The extensive geographic and infrastructure diversity of India creates unique challenges for data centre resilience. We are tackling this directly by implementing AI-enabled infrastructure software like ‘EcoStruxure’. This software helps us continuously monitor and optimise energy flows across locations, enabling predictive maintenance and greatly reducing the risk of downtime, especially in areas with unstable grid conditions.

We are also adapting to the increasing demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where power supply can be unreliable. Our microgrid-compatible architecture, which combines solar, battery and diesel inputs, ensures dependable operations while reducing reliance on unpredictable energy sources. As the demand for AI-ready and edge data centres is on the rise, our modular architecture provides scalable capacity without compromising uptime. This reflects our dedication to creating smarter and more resilient digital infrastructure across India.
