AI and Digital Twins Transforming India’s Infrastructure

“AI is revolutionizing the construction and infrastructure sectors, from optimizing sustainable building materials to creating digital twins for real-time project analysis. Bentley’s AI-powered solutions are shaping India’s ‘Vision 2047 – Viksit Bharat’ by driving smart, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure development.”

 AI has become a cornerstone of innovation in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly in the development of sustainable building materials. By harnessing the power of AI, we can now analyse vast datasets to identify optimal material compositions, improve energy efficiency, and reduce environmental impacts. AI-driven simulations enable us to predict material performance over time, ensuring that the materials used in construction are not only cost-effective, but also durable and sustainable.

AI plays a transformative role in infrastructure design and construction, particularly through the use of advanced digital solutions that Bentley specializes in. AI-driven technologies are integral to optimizing design processes, streamlining construction, and enhancing sustainability. One of the key areas where AI creates value is in infrastructure digital twins. These digital replicas of physical assets allow engineers to simulate, analyse, and predict the performance of infrastructure projects in real time. By leveraging AI within digital twins, Bentley’s solutions can optimize resource use, enhance material efficiency, and reduce waste throughout the project lifecycle.

For example, Bentley’s AI-powered solutions enable smarter decisions in material selection, ensuring that sustainable and efficient options are chosen for the development of infrastructure. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also helps optimize construction timelines and costs. AI also enhances predictive maintenance and monitoring, ensuring that structures remain resilient and adaptable in the long term.

As India looks towards the ambitious “Vision 2047 – Viksit Bharat” initiative, AI and digital twin technology will be pivotal in driving the development of smart, sustainable infrastructure. Bentley’s  commitment to this vision is reflected in our continuous innovation in AI-based solutions that streamline workflows, reduce carbon footprints, and enhance project outcomes.

By integrating AI into every stage of the infrastructure lifecycle—design, construction, operation, and maintenance—Bentley contributes to India’s goal of becoming a global leader in smart infrastructure. Our tools not only help build more sustainable cities, but also ensure that future infrastructure projects align with the long-term vision of a developed and prosperous India by 2047.
