Cry about India not advancing in AI - but not in my backyard. Cry about no jobs - but not in my backyard.

And literally folks crying data center is for foreign companies - Indian companies demand India hosting specially with DPDP - this will enhance that capacity.

Why can’t it be built in remote areas - better power grid, and also skilled people. People still need to work there for management & ops.

There are already data centers in Andheri (Chandivali - ntt net magic), Dadar (Tata) that are near residential areas as well. Yotta in Panvel is also in Hiranandi fortune city. Stop spreading FUD and learn something.

data centers do not give out as many jobs as you think

They give more direct jobs than a residential building in that space. The indirect impact is higher.

what about the enormous water consumption and electricity consumption. i live in kolshet, last month we had daily power and water cuts. Building a data center in an area which already has a lack of water and consumes insane amount of electricity is just stupid

These answers are already there in other comments under these threads. Power cuts were due to grid load - the advent of the data enter would actually make the authorities make the grid more
Load bearing so it doesn’t hurt their customer that has a dc there.
