India Plans Bidding For Nvidia Blackwell GPUs
The Indian government is likely to open another bidding round to procure about 12,000–15,000 Nvidia B100 and B200 GPUs under the Rs 10,372-crore IndiaAI Mission, Business Standard reported, citing sources. These Blackwell-architecture GPUs would add to more than 38,000 government-deployed units (and over 80,000 across public and private sectors) and will be procured through empanelled vendors to expand shared AI compute for research and startups.
Key Points
- 1Plans procurement of 12,000–15,000 Nvidia B100/B200 GPUs under IndiaAI Mission
