  1. #India's #DataCentre boom confronts a looming water challenge

    Nikhil Inamdar, 9 November 2025

    Excerpt: "From #Chile and #Mexico to #Georgia in the #US and #Scotland, serious concerns have been raised around data centres guzzling excess water for their cooling systems and consuming vast amounts of energy at the cost of local communities.

    "In an energy starved, water-scarce India, these challenges are even more accentuated.

    "According to the World Bank, India has 18% of the world's population, but only 4% of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed countries in the world.

    "India's data centre water consumption, meanwhile, is expected to more than double from 150 billion litres in 2025 to 358 billion litres by 2030, putting further pressure on its water table.

    "Moreover, most of India's data centres are concentrated in urban clusters like #Mumbai, #Hyderabad, #Chennai and #Bengaluru which have strong competing water needs."

  3. Tejasvi vs Sowmya: Class, caste and counterculture in Bengaluru South

    Bengaluru South is not just about IT parks, malls, and ‘pure veg’ food joints. Swanky glass-fronted buildings hide decades of social dominance and it has expanded to economic clout. Still, there’s a counterculture in the making.
