Early years India had faced difficulties in the 1980s when trying to purchase supercomputers for academic and weather forecasting purposes. Additionally, it was later revealed that India plans to develop a supercomputer with processing power in the exaflops range. It will be developed by C-DAC within the subsequent five years of approval. National Supercomputing Mission In 2015 the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology announced a "National Supercomputing Mission" (NSM) to install 73 indigenous supercomputers throughout the country by 2022. Whilst previously computer were assembled in India, the NSM aims to produce the components within the country. The mission involves both capacity and capability machines and includes standing up three petascale supercomputers. The first phase involved deployment of supercomputers which have 60% Indian components. ==Rankings==
