Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are specialised processors designed for high-speed parallel computing, making them essential for graphics rendering, artificial intelligence, and large-scale data processing. Their architecture, which includes thousands of cores, high-bandwidth memory (VRAM), and programmable shaders, enables faster execution of repetitive numerical tasks compared to CPUs. In India, GPUs are becoming critical digital infrastructure, supporting AI innovation, scientific research under the National Supercomputing Mission, the startup ecosystem, and large-scale digital governance platforms. With rising demand and heavy import dependence, strengthening domestic semiconductor capabilities and expanding energy-efficient data centre infrastructure are key to ensuring technological self-reliance and global competitiveness.
