Editorial analysis: For AI/DS/ML practitioners in India, a national effort to treat AI as public infrastructure would change compute access, funding models, and the shape of open-source contributions. Reporting by The Hindu (editorial) and secondary summaries in TheCoreIAS and InsightsonIndia outline a "Reforms 3.0" roadmap that calls for **sovereign AI infrastructure**, **open-source LLMs**, low-cost or free **AI tokens** for researchers and students, expanded domestic compute and data centres, and public-private partnerships. InsightsonIndia reports India's R&D spend is **0.65% of GDP**, estimates an annual **$2 billion** token subsidy to cover top universities and schools, and cites NVIDIA as commanding over **80%** of the global AI training hardware market. The Hindu editorial frames these measures as required to pursue an **8%+ GDP** growth trajectory through AI-driven productivity gains.
