New Delhi, Sep 15: Accelerated adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across industries can contribute USD 500-600 billion to India’s GDP by 2035 on the back of increased productivity and efficiency in the workforce, a NITI Aayog report said on Monday.
The report titled AI for Viksit Bharat: The Opportunity for Accelerated Economic Growth further said that over the next decade, the adoption of AI across sectors is expected to add USD 17-26 trillion to the global economy.
“India’s combination of a large STEM workforce, expanding R&D ecosystem, and growing digital and technology capabilities position the country to participate in this transformation, with the potential to capture 10-15 per cent of global AI value,” it said.

It said the analysis shows that financial services and manufacturing can be most impacted and might have up to 20-25 per cent of their sectoral GDP attributed to AI by 2035. (PTI)
