India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) said the country plans to develop indigenous GPU chips within 24 months, according to Secretary S. Krishnan. The effort is aimed at reducing reliance on foreign semiconductor suppliers while supporting domestic AI compute and hardware development. The timeline puts India’s chip ambitions on a concrete schedule as global demand for GPUs tied to AI workloads continues to outpace supply. It matters because locally designed GPUs could lower costs for Indian AI firms and anchor a broader semiconductor ecosystem. What to watch next is whether MeitY names fabrication partners and funding levels, and whether prototype silicon arrives within the stated two-year window.
