According to the expansion plan under the IndiaAI Mission’s Common Compute cluster, how many additional GPUs will be procured to strengthen AI infrastructure in India?

Solution

The IndiaAI Mission plans to procure 20,000 additional Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to expand the government’s Common Compute cluster. GPUs are specialised processors designed to handle the massive computational workloads required for artificial intelligence applications such as machine learning model training and data analysis. These GPUs will be made available to startups, researchers, academic institutions, and local technology firms to support innovation and AI application development. The installation of these GPUs is expected to be completed within six months as part of strengthening India’s national AI infrastructure.
