NITI Aayog says AI could pump 1.9 trillion into India's economy

NITI Aayog projects that artificial intelligence will contribute $1.9 trillion to India's economic expansion through 2035. The government think tank released findings on Monday showing that technology adoption could elevate the gross domestic product to $8.3 trillion, compared to the present trajectory of $6.6 trillion. India possesses the capabilities to capture 10-15 percent of the global AI value creation, worth $17-26 trillion, over the next decade. Banking, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, electric vehicles, aerospace, and semiconductors represent prime sectors for transformation. Generative AI applications may reduce research expenses while accelerating innovation across biopharma, automotive components, and space technology industries.

The administration established the IndiaAI Mission, with funding exceeding Rs 10,000 crore, to support technological advancements. Officials plan to deploy 38,000 graphics processing units and establish laboratories in smaller cities nationwide. Medium and small enterprises face infrastructure limitations while the country experiences shortages of robotics, chip design, and battery technology specialists. Chief Executive B.V.R. Subrahmanyam emphasized the importance of frontier technology investment in achieving developed nation status through strategic positioning ahead of emerging trends.
