India’s ambitions to launch its own foundational AI model over the next 10 months has been backed by an outlay of ₹2,000 crore in the Union Budget 2025.
However, Sanchit Vir Gogia, Chief Analyst and CEO at Greyhound Research, viewed the Budget as “not technology-oriented.”
“Considering where we are today, the ₹2,000 crore allocation is enough to lay down the bedrock of GPU infrastructure required to start work by Indian AI startups. Typically, budget announcements for such missions are spread out over 5-7 years so the allocation does not come as a surprise and should not impact the Mission overall. Looking at the entire Budget, it’s a technology-friendly budget but not technology-oriented.” he said.
