A new program to develop indigenous, ultra-low-power, AI-enabled SoCs for edge computing in sectors like healthcare, smart homes, industrial IoT, and automotive. This strengthens India’s global semiconductor position by delivering high-performance, energy-efficient, and secure edge AI solutions. The “Indigenous Edge AI Chip Development Program” aims to close the gap in India’s semiconductor capabilities for edge AI. This program will focus on creating ultra-low-power, AI-enabled System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions. These high-performance, energy-efficient, and secure chips are specifically designed for critical applications in healthcare, smart homes, industrial IoT, and the automotive sector. This strategic initiative will significantly elevate India’s standing in the global semiconductor supply chain, fostering self-reliance in cutting-edge AI hardware.
