India is developing its own artificial intelligence (AI) chip to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor technology. Expected to be ready by 2027, the chip is being designed in collaboration with government-backed institutions, including the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), and the National e-Governance Division. Built on open-source RISC-V architecture, the chip will offer a customizable and scalable AI processing solution.
Alongside this, India is strengthening its AI ecosystem through the India AI Compute Facility, which has secured 18,693 GPUs to develop a large language model (LLM) tailored to India’s linguistic and cultural diversity. The initiative aims to reduce biases in AI datasets while fostering a foundational AI model for national applications
This strategic push aligns with India’s vision for self-reliance in semiconductor technology, positioning the country as a key player in AI innovation. Successful execution will depend on scaling production, securing investments, and strengthening AI infrastructure.
