India May Push Indigenous AI Models Across Critical Sectors, Including Defence And Aerospace

India could encourage government departments to adopt homegrown AI models and agents in critical sectors such as defence and aerospace, according to a report by MediaNama citing government officials. The proposed approach may involve reducing reliance on frontier AI systems developed by foreign companies while expanding the use of AI technologies built under the IndiaAI Mission.

Under the mission, 20 AI models have been approved for development by 12 startups. Companies including Sarvam, BharatGen, Gnani, Gan AI and Shodh AI are among those developing indigenous AI capabilities. The move could strengthen India's domestic AI ecosystem and expand the role of homegrown technology in strategically important sectors.
