India to Launch 14000 GPU Super Computing Power Today, Announces Ashwini Vaishnaw

New Delhi: Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced India's ambitious launch of a staggering 14,000 GPU supercomputing facility at the Republic Plenary Summit 2025 – The Limitless India.

Speaking at the summit, Vaishnaw shed light on the magnitude of the new compute facility, stating, “Today, we are launching the common compute facility with 14,000 GPUs. The largest supercomputer we have had until now was equipped with just 700 GPUs, so imagine the scale of this new facility—14,000 GPUs. This is a leap that will propel us into an era of limitless computing power,” he said. 

India's Semiconductor Initiative: Paving the Way for Self-Reliance

Vaishnaw also highlighted India’s strides in semiconductor manufacturing. "In 2022, we launched the semiconductor mission. Today, five semiconductor units are under construction, and by 2025, we will roll out the first Made-in-India chip," he said. 

"We are not just making chips; we are building the entire semiconductor ecosystem. From design to fabrication to manufacturing, India will soon be a self-sustaining hub for semiconductors," he said. 

Vision for the Future: Transforming India's Railway Sector

Vaishnaw also spoke passionately about the Indian Railways' future, announcing major transformations within the next five years. 

"In the coming five years, we will be among the top five countries in deep tech and artificial intelligence. Our railways will undergo a complete transformation, becoming not only one of the largest but also the greenest rail networks in the world," he said.

One of the key highlights of this transformation will be the launch of India's hydrogen-powered train, set to debut this May. In addition to this eco-friendly initiative, India will also see the introduction of bullet trains in the eastern and southern regions.
