Prime Minister Narendra Modi Inaugurates AI Supercomputing Facility at IIT Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the IIT Delhi convocation, confer national honors on graduating students and officially open the institute’s new AI‑powered supercomputing facility, marking a high‑profile government endorsement of advanced research infrastructure.

IIT Delhi is using the Bharat Innovates 2026 showcase to present breakthroughs in defence, healthcare and artificial intelligence, and says the supercomputing platform will enable large‑scale AI modelling, strengthen global research partnerships and accelerate innovation across multiple sectors.
