According to Amitesh Kumar Sinha, CEO of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), India hopes to have wholly domestic supercomputing systems by 2030. He presented ambitious ambitions to construct full high-performance computing (HPC) systems domestically by 2030, with manufacturing and market rollout anticipated by 2032, during his speech at the Supercomputing India 2025 conference.
According to Sinha, the percentage of indigenous content in HPC systems has already risen to 50% and is expected to reach 70% by the end of the decade. This development is a continuation of India’s larger electronics manufacturing boom, where exports have increased eightfold and production has increased sixfold in the last ten years.
This accomplishment is best shown by the mobile device industry, where exports have increased 127 times and output has increased 28 times. According to Sinha, the process started with assembly and is currently moving farther down the value chain in order to add more value.
The government launched the Electronic Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) to strengthen indigenous capabilities. Ten projects pertaining to advanced manufacturing facilities, semiconductor packaging, and chip fabrication have been approved by ISM.
In order to accomplish complete indigenization, Sinha emphasized the necessity of competences throughout the entire stack. The Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has created important domestic components for HPC, such as servers, interconnects, and liquid-cooling systems.
By March 2026, India hopes to implement 90 petaflops of computing power under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM 1.0). Rudra-1, Rudra-2, and Rudra-3 servers, which were created with help from AMD and Intel, have already produced 40 petaflops.
A roadmap for exascale computing is included in NSM 2.0. Next-generation servers featuring domestic CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators will be given priority as a result.
Sinha highlighted the connections between quantum, AI, and semiconductor projects. To promote innovation, the government has provided more than 38,000 GPUs to academic institutions, research centers, and start-ups.
Chips designed for AI and high-performance computing applications are being developed by Indian companies like MosChip. Sinha emphasized India’s openness to technology sharing for the public good and advocated for increased cooperation between domestic and international players.
He defined these initiatives as constructing infrastructure for public goods for the benefit of humanity. With attendees from 20 nations, the Supercomputing India 2025 conference is similar to Semicon India in that it promotes ecosystem-wide collaborations.
This initiative is in line with India’s strategic goal of being self-sufficient in vital technologies, ranging from aerospace and defense to computing powerhouses necessary for artificial intelligence, simulations, and national security applications.
Integrating domestic supercomputing could establish India as a global leader as electronics manufacturing develops, lowering reliance on imports and boosting capabilities in vital industries like aviation research and missile systems.
