India to take up Biden's AI chip export curbs with Trump govt

India plans to address the US's export cap on AI chips with the incoming Trump administration, stemming from a Biden directive limiting India's imports. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, alongside national security advisor Ajit Doval, is assessing the long-term implications on India’s tech industry under the India-US iCET framework. The cap, which requires licenses for importing over 50,000 GPUs yearly, may impede India's AI capabilities and increase compliance complexities for domestic companies.
