AI and Smart Technologies in India’s Infrastructure Growth
Mr. Amit Jain, Chairman and Managing Director, Arkade Developers
“India’s rapid urbanization calls for smart infrastructure that integrates AI, IoT, and data analytics to optimize systems and enhance quality of life. As smart cities, transportation, and energy grids evolve, India is embracing advanced technologies to realize its ‘Vikshit Bharat 2047’ vision.”
India’s infrastructure is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by rapid urbanization and the need for sustainable, smart cities. The integration of advanced technologies such as IoT, AI, and data analytics is optimizing building systems, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing the quality of life for citizens. From intelligent transportation systems to renewable energy integration, these innovations are reshaping India’s urban landscape.
The government’s Smart Cities Mission is at the forefront of this transformation, creating more efficient, livable urban environments. Smart grids, for instance, are optimizing the use of renewable energy, ensuring a more sustainable future. Additionally, the rise of green building technologies and automation is reducing the carbon footprint of urban developments.
This growing sector is also driving demand for skilled professionals who can design and manage smart infrastructure. Roles such as building automation engineers, green building consultants, and IoT developers are becoming critical in the design and implementation of these advanced systems. The synergy of smart infrastructure and skilled talent is essential for India’s journey toward a sustainable urban future.
AI is playing a pivotal role, particularly in the development of sustainable materials. In the pipe industry, for example, AI enables faster analysis of material options, leading to stronger, lighter, and more eco-friendly products. By reducing production waste, AI not only cuts costs but also promotes more efficient construction practices without compromising quality.
As India pushes towards a sustainable future, the adoption of AI and smart technologies will be crucial. These innovations are paving the way for India’s ‘Vikshit Bharat 2047’ vision, positioning the nation as a leader in advanced, green building solutions.
