China already did that decades ago. They initially choose MIPS with their LoongSon processors in 2000s, and pivoted to arm processors with the mobile chips wave later with Allwinner and Unisoc. They had supercomputers running with their own MIPS cpus too.

#5Once a working computer is available commercially, A mandate would be issued by the central government ministries to 250+ Public Sector Undertaking ( Companies with >50% govt equity) to procure only these RISCV computers. This way we can definitely bring it up to speed real fast.
PS: From my experience working currently for one of those PSUs .

#6As someone who doesn't follow RISC-V too closely, how does the most modern one (either available or planned) stack up in terms of perf compared to x86/arm? Just curious when these will begin to become viable for consumer devices. Years? Decades?

There's nothing "localized" or exclusive to India about RISC-V, it's simply the most prominent open ISA at present.

#9IIRC the Shakti family didn't include the C extension, which would make it incompatible with most Linux distros who have chosen to require it.
Is this still the case?
