The headline: it's plumbing, not intelligence

Government “tech” money overwhelmingly flows to infrastructure - data centres, software and fibre - not AI. And competition is an inverse map of domestic supplier depth: where Indian vendors are deep, bidding is healthy.

Higher = thinner competition / fewer domestic suppliers.

What counts as what

Every tender is classified into exactly one of seven layers, by precise keyword matching on its title and work description. The boundaries matter - especially around AI, which people often stretch to cover the hardware it runs on.

AI / ML means the intelligence itself, not the hardware.

The GPUs and data centres that power AI are counted under Data Center; the chips under Semiconductor. So the AI/ML figure is deliberately narrow: it measures spend on actual AI capability, not AI-adjacent infrastructure. When a tender is genuinely an AI system that happens to include GPUs, AI intent wins and it is counted as AI/ML. This is why AI/ML looks small - because it is, once you stop counting servers as "AI".

AI / ML

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, NLP, LLMs / GenAI, predictive analytics, IndiaAI. The algorithms and models, i.e. the "intelligence".

Data Center

Data centres, GPUs, HPC, servers, colocation, supercomputing. The compute that AI (and everything else) runs on. Frequently mistaken for AI; counted separately here.

Semiconductor

Chips, VLSI, wafers, fabrication, OSAT, the India Semiconductor Mission. The physical silicon. Adjacent to AI, but not AI.

Software

General-purpose software: ERP, CRM, web and mobile apps, SaaS, digital platforms, databases. Software that is not specifically AI.

Cybersecurity

Cyber security, SIEM, firewalls, endpoint protection, VAPT, penetration testing, security operations centres.

Digital India

Government digital public infrastructure: e-governance, DigiLocker, UMANG, Aadhaar, ABDM, UIDAI, digitisation.

Infra / Network

Connectivity: BharatNet, fibre optic, leased lines, broadband, OFC.
