Climate change is pushing India’s electricity grid to its limits. Recent heatwaves have exposed critical gaps in infrastructure planning, as power networks across several states struggled to cope with extreme temperatures and surging electricity demand.
Projects such as the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad Digital Twin initiative are already exploring how AI can integrate real-time energy, traffic, emissions and urban infrastructure data into a single connected system.
As climate events become more frequent and energy demand continues to rise, the focus is gradually shifting towards infrastructure systems that can anticipate stress, respond faster and operate in a more co-ordinated manner.
