According to government e-marketplace tender data, nine companies have qualified for the technical stage in the fourth round of the IndiaAI Mission’s graphics processing unit (GPU) tender. However, bidders have raised concerns that rising costs and short contract durations could make large-scale investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure difficult to sustain.
As per data, the shortlisted companies include Paradigmit Technology Services, Tata Communications, RackBank Datacenters, Netmagic IT Services, E2E Networks, Yotta Data Services, Cyfuture India, Sify Digital Services and UrsaCompute.
Among them, Yotta Data Services has proposed offering 17,000 Nvidia B300 GPUs. The company stated that this capacity would support sovereign AI model training and inference needs under the IndiaAI Mission, while also catering to global client requirements.
