Energy infrastructure is emerging as a critical enabler in India's artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap. With reliable and sustainable power in place, data centres, digital networks, and large scale AI workloads can scale in line with India's ambitions.
Recognising this pivotal moment, Hitachi Energy India is hosting 'AI and Electric Energy: Complementing for a Sustainable and Resilient Future', the official pre-summit event in the run up to the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The event, to be held at Taj Mahal, New Delhi on February 9, is supported by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). It will bring together leading industry voices, technology pioneers and policy architects to discuss India’s opportunity and responsibility to build a secure, scalable and sustainable energy foundation for the AI age.
The power behind India's AI push
India's AI ambitions require a lot of data centres. And data centres are hungry for power. The question isn't just about generating more electricity, but about building grids that can handle fluctuating loads, integrate renewables, and keep systems running without fail. That means rethinking everything from transformers and switchgear to cooling systems and grid architecture.
'AI and Electric Energy: Complementing for a Sustainable and Resilient Future' will dive into the heart of this matter, with thought leaders examining how India can build energy systems that don't just support AI growth, but enable it. The pre-summit event will offer practical insights on how energy systems can keep pace with India's AI momentum.
Turning intent into capability
Talking points include grid modernisation, localising supply chains to align 'Make in India' with 'AI in India', and rethinking data centres themselves as grid assets that can provide flexibility through storage and smart controls. There's also the sustainability question. India's decarbonisation goals and AI expansion need to move in tandem, not in opposition. That might mean new metrics to measure efficiency that specifically makes sense for AI workloads.
The event reflects a simple reality: India's AI-energy challenge can't be solved in silos. Utilities need to understand what data centre operators require. Policymakers need to hear from manufacturers about supply chain challenges. Technology providers need to align with India's digital sovereignty goals. February 9 is about getting everyone in the same room.
For Hitachi Energy India, this official pre-summit reflects its long-standing engagement with India's power landscape, and a commitment to supporting the country's next phase of digital growth. As nations race toward AI leadership, India's opportunity lies in building systems that are future-ready. 'AI and Electric Energy: Complementing for a Sustainable and Resilient Future' will set the tone for this journey, highlighting energy as a crucial enabler of the country’s AI ambitions.
The event will feature a plenary session on “Powering the Future: Why AI Sovereignty Depends on Energy Security and a panel discussion on “Energy Security: The Backbone of India’s AI Future.
Theme: AI and Electric Energy: Complementing for a Sustainable and Resilient Future
Date:February 9, 2026
Venue: Taj Mahal, New Delhi - 110011
