Modi further emphasized, "New India will take ownership of creating indigenous technological innovations. Our guiding principles are science and self-reliance. This year’s budget has allocated ₹1 lakh crore to the research fund. India must lead globally in scientific innovation. The space sector is a prime example, where India has emerged as a major power."


The PARAM Rudra supercomputers have been set up at prominent scientific institutions in Pune, Delhi, and Kolkata. The Giant Meter Radio Telescope (GMRT) in Pune will utilize the supercomputer to explore Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and other astrophysical events. The Inter-University Accelerator Center in Delhi aims to enhance research in physical sciences and nuclear physics. Meanwhile, the S N Bose Center in Kolkata will offer advanced courses in physics, cosmology, and earth sciences.

These supercomputers are being developed as part of India’s National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), which aims to enhance the country’s computing infrastructure. The mission is designed to address the increasing demand for computing resources from students, researchers, MSMEs, and startups. This initiative represents a significant stride towards India’s further development.


Modi added, “Supercomputers can significantly contribute to the development of AI and ML, driving the digital revolution. They will ensure that the benefits of technology reach every citizen of the country. No matter the sector—be it the economy, ease of doing business, disaster management, or quality of life—each is directly reliant on technology and computing capabilities. This sector forms the core foundation of India's success in Industry 4.0."
