India's AI race is driving data centre construction, shifting focus to physical resources like land, electricity, and water. These facilities behave industrially, requiring continuous supplies, and AI significantly increases their resource demands. With a warming climate, ensuring uninterrupted operation is challenging. The author argues that data centres cannot be viewed in isolation; their resilience depends on surrounding infrastructure. Policymakers must move beyond economic incentives to prioritize climate resilience, incorporating risk assessments, sustainable site selection, and efficient designs. India has an opportunity to build resilient AI infrastructure from the start, ensuring long-term reliability in a changing world.
