Addressing Skill Shortages and Outdated Infrastructure Essential for AI Integration

Artificial intelligence is rapidly shifting from an emerging technology to a foundational component of India’s power generation landscape. According to a recent survey by ENCIS, AI deployment across the sector is projected to reach 65% by 2030, rising from the current usage rate of 35%.

The study, which gathered insights from 250 industry professionals, highlights operational efficiency and clean energy transitions as the primary catalysts for AI investment. Key focus areas include predictive maintenance, intelligent grid management, and the seamless integration of renewable energy—capabilities increasingly vital as data centers expand nationwide.

Despite this momentum, industry leaders emphasize that workforce skill gaps and aging legacy infrastructure pose major hurdles to widespread implementation.
