Schneider Electric sees rising cooling requirements for India’s GPU data centers

• Schneider Electric's analysis finds cooling readiness increasingly critical to competing for India's sovereign GPU data center contracts as rack densities rise.
• IndiaAI does not mandate liquid cooling, but denser GPU systems may require direct-to-chip or hybrid designs, shaping infrastructure investment decisions.
• Procurement scoring rewards lower power usage effectiveness, with the highest score below 1.2; availability below 99.95% triggers service credits.
• Domestic hosting requirements expose operators to local climate and water constraints; high ambient temperatures reduce cooling efficiency.
• Operators must align cooling infrastructure with GPU selection from the outset to meet efficiency and availability commitments.
