Indian artificial intelligence companies are facing acute infrastructure constraints, with computing hardware availability becoming a tighter bottleneck than venture funding. Startups and tech enterprises report wait times of three to six months for high-end graphics processing units (GPUs). In addition to chip shortages, severe limitations in high-bandwidth memory, enterprise data centre real estate, and electrical grid capacity are delaying project schedules across the country. While cloud credits and venture capital remain accessible, physical infrastructure constraints are emerging as the primary barrier slowing local enterprise AI model training and deployment.
