DHRUV64 is India’s first 64-bit, 1.0 GHz dual-core microprocessor, fully designed within the country and built on the RISC-V open-source architecture. It is suitable for both strategic applications such as defence and space, and commercial uses including embedded systems and high-performance computing.
The processor was designed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the Microprocessor Development Programme, guided by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. DHRUV64 aims to create a trusted indigenous processor ecosystem, reduce dependence on imported chips, and strengthen India’s semiconductor self-reliance.
