NITI Aayog Unveils AI Roadmap, Forecasts $1.4–$1.7 Trillion GDP Boost by 2035

Leaders frame AI as the lever to reach 8% growth, with calls for balanced rules that foster innovation.

Overview

  • The roadmap estimates accelerated AI adoption can add $500–600 billion to GDP by 2035 through productivity and efficiency gains.
  • It attributes 30–35% of the growth step-up to broad adoption across industries and 20–30% to generative-AI-driven R&D.
  • Financial services and manufacturing are flagged as early winners, with $50–55 billion and $85–100 billion in additional value projected by 2035.
  • Policymakers identify 18 priority areas for focused effort, spanning AI software and cloud, semiconductors, software-assisted vehicles, renewables, medical devices and biopharma.
  • The report anticipates new roles alongside displacement in clerical and routine jobs, as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman urges sandboxed, responsible rules that protect innovation.
