Meity to seek Cabinet nod for India AI programme entailing over Rs 10,000 crore investments: MoS IT

The Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) plans to seek cabinet approval for the India AI programme, which involves setting up GPU-based servers in a public-private partnership with an investment of over Rs 10,000 crore. The government has formed working groups that recommend establishing a three-tier compute infrastructure comprising 24,500 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The programme aims to build computing capacity and infrastructure for AI technology development in both private and public data centers, reducing reliance on countries like the US and China. Industry estimates show NVIDIA dominates the GPU market, but there is a high demand and a waiting period for GPUs.
