Prime Minister Narendra Modi also announced that India will host an AI impact summit next year.

Under its artificial intelligence (AI) mission, India is building high-performance computing capacity to ensure that every innovator and startup has access to new technologies at a low cost and with ease, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday at the Global Fintech Fest 2025.

"We are trying to reach the benefits of AI to every district and every language. Our centres of excellence, skilling hubs and indigenous AI models are soliciting this," he said, adding that in the field of AI, India's approach has been to focus on three main principles-equitable access, population scale and responsible deployment.

"The experience of India's digital public infrastructure and our learning repository can be useful for the world. The level of digital public infrastructure we are moving towards, we want to take it forward in AI as well."
