Will the Minister of ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY be pleased to state: (a) the current status of implementation of India AI Mission including the details of progress of AIKosha Datasets Platform, AI-COE Datasets Platform and iGOT-AI courses; (b) the number of startups funded via Global Acceleration Programme along with the details of innovation challenges launched thereunder; 18.03.2026 799 (c) whether the Government has assessed AI innovation impact towards the $1 trillion digital economy and proposes scaling compute capacity; and (d) if so, the details thereof? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA): (a) to (d): Government of India launched the IndiaAI Mission in March 2024 with the objective of building a robust ecosystem of AI in the country. The Mission seeks to expand access to AI technologies, support innovation and promote the development of AI solutions addressing India-centric challenges. AIKosha: AIKosha is platform which provides access to AI models, development tools and other resources. These belong to various fields such as health, agriculture, and education, with safeguards for data privacy. AIKosh acts as a shared library of AI models that anyone can use to build new AI tools and solutions. As on 13th March 2026, AIKosh platform has more information about 280 models available for the use of researchers, startups and other stakeholders. Eg. Text-to-Speech (TTS) models in Indian languages like Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam. The sovereign model being developed as part of IndiaAI mission such as Sarvam are also available on AIKosh. In addition, AIKosh provides a secure API-based access, an AI Sandbox 18.03.2026 800 environment for model training and experimentation. These resources can be accessed from the website https://aikosh.indiaai.gov.in/home. iGOT-AI Courses The iGOT initiative is aimed at strengthening AI awareness and capacity building among government officials and other stakeholders. The iGOT Karmayogi platform currently offers over 176 courses on Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies (Details in Statement-I), published by a wide range of institutions, organizations, and academic bodies. To date, these courses have cumulatively recorded 72,99,149 enrolments and 53,79,235 completions from registered learners on the platform. The YUVA AI for All course offered by the IndiaAI Mission is also available on the iGOT Karmayogi platform in English and Hindi. Together, the two versions of the course have recorded 1,28,848 enrolments and 83,010 completions from registered learners on the platform to date. IndiaAI Startups Global:International Acceleration Program The IndiaAI Startups Global program was launched in collaboration with Station F (Paris) and HEC Paris. Under this program, 10 Indian AI startups have been selected and supported to expand into the European market. It supports Indian AI startups in accessing global innovation ecosystems and expanding into international markets. These startups are already developing innovative solutions across 18.03.2026 801 sectors such as governance, smart cities, document intelligence, and enterprise automation. Their work highlights the growing maturity of India’s AI startup ecosystem and its ability to build practical, deployment-ready solutions. Further, under the IndiaAI Mission, thirty (30) applications have been developed focusing on India-specific problems. These applications belong to critical sectors notably Agriculture, Health, Climate change and disaster. Details are at Statement-II. Sector-specific hackathons and Innovation challenges have also been organised with the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre, the Geological Survey of India, Ministry of Ayush, Ministry of MSME, NFRA and National Cancer Grid (NCG) to further encourage focused AI solution development. From these hackathons and innovation challenges, 10 startups have been identified for scaling up the solutions. AI-CoEs under the IndiaAI Mission A scheme has been approved for the establishment of Artificial Intelligence Centres of Excellence (AI-CoEs) across States and Union Territories in a collaborative model with MeitY, State/UT and Industry Partners. These CoEs aims to nurture skilled professionals through targeted talent development programs in emerging tech domains, while empowering tech- driven startups to accelerate their growth and innovation. Development of Sovereign Models Under the IndiaAI mission, Twelve (12) teams have been shortlisted in the initial phases for development of indigenous foundational AI models/Large 18.03.2026 802 Language Models. Models developed by Sarvam AI, BharatGen, Gnani and Socket were launched during the IndiaAI Impact Summit 2026. These models represent important progress in building India’s own AI capabilities tailored to local languages and use-cases. These sovereign models show strong performance on Indic language benchmarks. In some cases, these perform better than leading frontier models for Indian language tasks. For instance, models developed by Sarvam AI have demonstrated high accuracy in document understanding and Indic language processing. IndiaAI Compute The Government is cognisant of the importance of compute infrastructure for the innovation in AI. As India advances towards using AI to solve real-life problems and develop AI models, developers require access to large-scale compute for both training and inference. Common compute under IndiaAI Mission is providing affordable access to high-end compute infrastructure to startups, researchers, academic institutions and government organizations. ● More than 38,000 GPUs have been empaneled through 14 AI service providers to provide shared AI compute infrastructure ● Data centres located across the country including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Noida and Jamnagar are providing these services ● IndiaAI Compute Portal (https://compute.indiaai.gov.in) enables eligible 18.03.2026 803 users to discover and access GPU compute resources The Government is also working to strengthen the data centre ecosystem. The Union Budget 2026–27 announced a long-term tax holiday for data centre and cloud infrastructure investment. The AI Impact Summit 2026 saw investment commitments of around $250 billion in AI infrastructure. This reflects a strong global confidence in India’s AI ecosystem.
