India to more than double its GPU capacity in six months, says IT Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw at AI Summit

India is set to massively ramp up its AI compute muscle. Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi that over 50,000 GPUs will be deployed within the next six months—effectively more than doubling the country’s current capacity.

At present, India has 38,000 GPUs up and running under the IndiaAI Mission. Of the fresh additions, 20,000 are already in the pipeline and expected to come online shortly, while orders for another 40,000 will be placed separately.
