Executive Overview

The Haryana AI Compute Fabric (HACF) has reached a critical milestone with the operationalization of its primary state node in Panchkula. This facility represents the state's largest investment in specialized AI hardware to date, cementing Haryana's position as a technological leader.

Technical Specifications

The node is equipped with state-of-the-art GPU clusters optimized for large language models (LLMs) and real-time environmental processing:

  • Performance: Over 500 Petaflops of AI compute performance.
  • Connectivity: Direct fiber integration with all 22 district headquarters.
  • Deployment: Edge-native deployment capabilities for rural advisory services, bringing intelligence closer to the point of action.
  • Cooling: Liquid-cooled infrastructure reducing carbon footprint by 35% compared to traditional data centers.

By centralizing compute resources, the ARJUN framework ensures that even smaller government departments have access to enterprise-grade AI capabilities without individual capital expenditure.

The Road Ahead

  1. Phase 1 (Current): Serving core departments (Health, Transport, Agriculture).
  2. Phase 2 (2027 Q2): Opening access to verified startups within the regulatory sandbox.
  3. Phase 3 (2028): Federation with the Gurugram node for full redundancy.

"The Panchkula node is the beating heart of our digital state." — Chief Technology Officer, ARJUN.
