Description

The Government of India oversees national high-performance computing through the National Supercomputing Mission.

Scope

  • As of 2025 the mission operates 34 supercomputers delivering 35 PFLOPS of FP64 performance, equivalent to roughly 3×10^17 INT8 operations per second.1
  • The AIRAWAT initiative is building an AI supercomputing platform targeting hundreds of petaflops for future deployments.2

These resources yield about 3×10^17 dense INT8 operations per second today.

Implications

Modernized compute supports scientific research and digital public services, though broader expansion is needed to meet India’s population-scale ambitions.
