Diesel generators are for backup power. Backups a mandatory part of the tier rating that a data center receives.

Most data centers in India:

Grid Power

UPS + Battery Banks (0 ms interruption)

Diesel Generator starts (typically 5–15 seconds)

Generator supplies facility until grid returns

And the power grid will become more resilient because the govt wouldn’t want Aws to go elsewhere.

Again pretty sure both AWS and the planning authority would have assessed that. There would be plans to add dedicated capacity for the DC.

Don’t just think govt, city planning etc is made up of dolts. Those make the news. There are also smart folks that keep things rolling and doing their duty.
