The government spending on the IndiaAI mission will increase to Rs 20,000-crore from the current Rs 10,000 crore, owing to additions of certain components, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and IT said on Monday evening.

“The mission approved by the Cabinet had an outlay of Rs 10,000 crore but the effective value will go up to Rs 20,000 crore on addition of some other things,” Chandrasekhar said. He, however, did not disclose what other things will be added.
