Where India commissioned selected national supercomputers

India’s September 2026 update reported 40 National Supercomputing Mission systems with 68 petaflops of combined capacity. A parliamentary inventory shows how selected installations differed in size and where they were hosted.

The map shows installations at different institutions

The parliamentary annex lists 6.5 petaflops for C-DAC’s National AI Facility in Pune and 3.3 for the Indian Institute of Science system in Bengaluru. It also gives three petaflops each for the selected systems in New Delhi and Chennai, and 1.66 for IIT Kharagpur. Each pin represents the city rather than the building.

One city can host several systems

The annex lists more than one system at some locations, including Pune and New Delhi. The five map points compare individually identified systems and omit other installations even where they share a city. They cannot be summed into a city-level or national capacity total. Source 1

AI performance figures use a separate label

The annex lists a standard figure alongside an AI performance figure for some systems. For C-DAC’s Pune facility it gives 6.5 PF and separately labels 210 PF as AI. The map preserves the 6.5 PF value so that specialised AI performance is kept out of the common comparison. Source 1

The September 2026 update describes a larger installed base

The December 2025 reply recorded 37 machines and about 39 petaflops. By September 2026 the government reported 40 machines totalling 68 petaflops. It described 13 high-end systems above one petaflop and another 27 in smaller classes. These are reported national snapshots. The map keeps the separate installation-level inventory date.
