In a major step towards achieving its AI ambitions, Union Minister of Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw on January 30 announced plans to develop India’s own foundational model. It would be part of IndiaAI Mission’s target to build a large language model (LLM) in less than a year. The programme has also invited proposals from startups, researchers, and entrepreneurs to collaborate on building state-of-the-art foundational AI models trained on Indian datasets. According to multiple reports, this bold plan leans heavily on computing infrastructure. India claims it has already exceeded its original target of procuring 10,000 GPUs through public-private deals, stockpiling a total of 18,600 GPUs—including several Nvidia H100 and H200 chips purpose-built for AI infrastructure and workload, along with those offered by AMD.
