India's data centres draw 6.5 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 7th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.
That is 0.3% of everything the country generates — below the 1.2% median across those countries.
Set against 3.6 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 21% load factor.
4 metros are tracked here, totalling 1,770 MW, of which Mumbai alone is 670 MW — 38% of the national total.
1,770 MW of that is not yet operating: it is under construction or still an announcement.
Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Systems & Facility on the physical basis, at #3 of 54.
3 suppliers are domiciled here, booking roughly $9bn between them; the largest is BHEL.
Its single strongest grip on the buildout is Transformers & switchgear, where firms domiciled here hold 5% of global supply in a sub-layer weighted 0.80 for how hard it is to substitute.
About $25bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for India, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.
National context
Grid friction
Rapid generation additions; distribution reliability varies by state.
Where India ranks
The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.

Supply positions
Share of each global sub-layer held by firms domiciled here, and how hard that sub-layer would be to substitute. Those two multiplied are what the control basis ranks on.

Revenue is the group or segment figure closest to each tier's perimeter. Segment boundaries differ between issuers, so treat the split as indicative.
