India hopes to attract as much as $200 billion in data center investment over the next few years as it boosts its ambitions to become a hub for artificial intelligence, the country’s top electronics and information technology official said Tuesday.

The investments underscore the reliance of tech titans on India as a key technology and talent base in the global race for AI dominance. For New Delhi, they bring in high-value infrastructure and foreign capital at a scale that can accelerate its digital transformation ambitions.
