Google Cloud is significantly expanding its AI (artificial intelligence) infrastructure within India. This important step in a rapidly growing market means Google Cloud will now host its advanced AI models and offer its full set of AI tools locally.

Indian enterprises and developers are set to gain from Google’s AI advancements, starting with the locally hosted Gemini 1.5 Flash. This results in quicker response times and improved efficiency. Future yearly updates will include even more powerful models, such as Gemini 2.5 Flash, which will enhance India’s data sovereignty.

Google Cloud has two operational regions in India, Mumbai and Delhi NCR (serving regulated sectors like government), and is collaborating with the Indian government on the ₹100 billion IndiaAI Mission, which includes subsidised compute for startups and researchers.

Google Cloud’s AI technology is essential for government programs, like the iGOT Karmayogi platform. This platform uses Google’s advanced AI (like Vertex AI and special processors) and ready-made AI assistants for support, data analysis, and security to personalise training for civil servants.

This expansion not only emphasises India’s significance within Google Cloud’s global AI vision but also supports the government’s push for greater AI innovation and a stronger digital foundation.
