The ministry of electronics and information technology officially revealed its truly indigenously developed processor DHRUV64 on December 15, 2025. This is an another step to strengthen the national security and capable of supporting both strategic and commercial applications.
The dhruv64 is india’s first 1.0GHz, 64bit dual-core homegrown chip, which design on 28nm technology. The organisation said that it is suitable for 5G infrastructure, automotive systems, industrial equipment and consumer electronics.
The india’s centre for development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) is still testing the chip’s interface. Here organisation has not announced chip’s power consumption information and when this microprocessor will available for use in market. With this launching, India’ government is going ahead to create a local semiconductor industry.
In 2020, organisation was launched locally designed 180nm, 32-bit processors based on RISC-V architecture which runs at between 75Mhz and 100Mhz. However the Dhruv64 is the significant improvement in a short time, India announcement for new SoC with more advanced in performance, those two models are DHANUSH64 and DHANUSH64+, both of chips will run on RISC-V architecture and deliver quad-core performance. According to a report, the DHANUSH64 will run at 1.2GHz and craft on 28nm manufacturing processes. While DHANUSH64+ will run at 1.2GHz and craft on 14nm or 16nm manufacturing processes
