Waaree Renewable's data centre push raises the stakes

Why it matters
Why it matters for greenfield investors: Waaree Renewable's data centre push raises the stakes. Data-centre headlines usually hide MW, water, and fibre questions. Our briefing translates the announcement into greenfield site-readiness terms for India.
Waaree Renewable Technologies has incorporated Sunstar Data Centers to develop, finance, own and operate hyperscale, AI-ready and edge data centres. The move builds on the group’s presence in solar power, transmission and energy storage. India’s data-centre capacity is projected to rise from 1.6 GW in mid-2026 to 6 GW by 2029. AI-ready facilities are expected to require substantially higher power than conventional data centres.
