Recently, the Prime Minister of India virtually launched three Param Rudra Super Computing Systems and a High Performance Computing (HPC) system for weather and climate research.
It is designed to tackle complex computational challenges across various scientific and engineering domains.
Three Param Rudra supercomputers have been developed indigenously under the National Supercomputing Mission.
They have been deployed at three key locations: Delhi, Pune and Kolkata.
Dedicated for advanced research in physics, cosmology, and earth sciences.

The Trinetra high-speed network (developed under NSM) boosts data transfer rates up to 200 Gbps and is being rolled out in phases – PoC, Trinetra-A (100 Gbps), and Trinetra-B (200 Gbps).

The Krutrim AI parent on March 5 announced that it is partnering with Lenovo to develop the largest supercomputer in India and it is also working on 700-billion parameter based Krutrim 3 model.
This comes barely a month after Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal announced an investment of Rs 2,000 crore into his AI venture, with a commitment of Rs 10,000 crore by next year. Ola is also setting up an AI research lab. Meanwhile, it is also building its own cloud infrastructure and AI chips.
While its first model Krutrim 1, which was being developed in late 2023, was 7 billion parameter model and it trained the second model Krutrim 2 on 12 billion parameters, the upcoming model Krutrim 3 will be built on 700 billion parameters. Both Krutrim 1 and Krutrim 2 are open sourced models. Moneycontrol

The AIRAWAT project is India’s AI-focused supercomputing initiative under NSM, offering a common AI computing platform for start-ups, researchers, and innovation hubs.
The Proof of Concept (PoC) system of AIRAWAT features 200 petaflops of AI processing power, scalable to 790 AI petaflops.
AIRAWAT secured 75th rank in the Top 500 Global Supercomputing List (ISC 2023, Germany), placing India among the top AI supercomputing nations.
