Wipro and Kongsberg Digital Partner To Deploy AI Digital Twins

28 Apr 2026 CW Team

The joint offering will bring together physics?based engineering models, real?time operations and enterprise AI in a unified environment that reflects live conditions across plants, grids and distributed assets. Wipro will integrate its Industrial?AssetsAI and UpstreamAI platforms with Kongsberg Digital’s solutions to combine simulation, data, AI and automation in a single framework. The partners said this integration aims to simplify digital transformation and strengthen operational resilience for asset?intensive organisations.

Wipro’s managing partner and global head of engineering, Srikumar Rao, described the collaboration as a move to rethink how industrial intelligence is designed and applied and said it will enable enterprises to embed autonomy into operations to anticipate change and navigate complexity. Kongsberg Digital’s chief executive, Shane McArdle, noted that combining the Industrial Work Surface with Wipro’s AI?powered platforms will extend digital twin capability at scale and help customers move from insight to operational impact faster. Both companies will advance a joint roadmap to scale AI?powered digital twin capabilities across energy and utilities environments.

Wipro said the partnership will help organisations accelerate innovation and deliver sustained improvements in performance, safety and sustainability while strengthening operational resilience. The company described its consulting?led approach and the Wipro Intelligence suite as central to co?innovation and co?creation across innovation labs, partner labs and academia. Wipro reported a workforce of 240,000 employees and business partners across 65 countries and advised readers to visit its website for further information.

Wipro Limited has entered a strategic partnership with Kongsberg Digital to deploy next?generation AI?powered digital twin solutions for the energy and utilities sector, the companies announced on 24 April 2026. The collaboration combines Wipro’s consulting?led approach and the Wipro Intelligence unified suite with Kongsberg Digital’s Industrial Work Surface platform. The initiative is intended to support more reliable, efficient and safer operations across complex asset networks.

Centre Clears Power Distribution Upgrade for Uttar Pradesh

The Central Government has approved power distribution projects worth Rs 407.39 billion for Uttar Pradesh under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). The investment will be used to modernise the state's electricity distribution infrastructure and strengthen network capacity across urban and rural areas. The package targets one of the country's largest distribution networks as the state experiences rapid urbanisation and rising electricity consumption. Planned interventions include the strengthening of distribution lines, modernisation of substations, replacement of ageing electrical ..

India Data Centres To Consume 191 TWh By 2040 Driving Renewables

A Wood Mackenzie report says India's operational data centre capacity is projected to increase more than fivefold to 12 gigawatt (GW) by 2030 from 2.2 GW in 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing drive demand. It projects electricity consumption to rise from 10 terawatt-hour (TWh) in 2025 to 191 TWh by 2040. The study forecasts a compound annual growth rate of around 40 per cent and notes AI-dedicated capacity will surge nearly 24-fold from 275 megawatt (MW) in 2025 to 6,546 MW by 2030. The report places India's digital economy at Rs 32 trillion (tn) in 2025 and says it contr..

Hydrogen Train Completes 1,200 Kilometres Of Trials

India's first hydrogen train was flagged off between Jind and Sonipat on July 17 and has travelled over 1,200 kilometres in trials, saving diesel consumption of more than 3,200 litres, a Railway Ministry press release said. The deployment marks the introduction of a zero-emission fuel cell train into route testing and represents a milestone in domestic rail innovation. The train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity to propel the vehicle while emitting only water vapour as a by-product. There is no smoke and no tailpipe car..
