Good news! Ambitious, but maybe not enough!
"... Compute is central to the IndiaAI mission. In March 2024, the Cabinet allocated Rs. 10,372 crores ($1.3 billion) for the mission, nearly half of which, about Rs. 4,568 crores, has been earmarked to build compute capacity across the country. This demonstrates the importance of compute to India’s growing AI ambitions. ...
According to recent data from the Department of Science and Technology, the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) has a total compute capacity of 24.83 petaflops (1 petaflop = 1015 flops), at the cost of Rs. 1,218 crores. The official target for the NSM is 66 PF by 2025. Many technologists believe this is insufficient capacity to meet India’s strategic AI goals. The national target of 10,000 GPUs is conservative even compared to the capacity of individual companies (Meta will have compute capacity equivalent to 600,000 H100 chips by 2025). ..."
