Vikram 3201 is India’s first fully indigenous 32-bit space-grade microprocessor.[1] It was developed with the help of the Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL) in Chandigarh, by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).[2] It was launched by Narendra Modi In September 2025.[3]
History
Vikram 3201 was designed to specifically fit launch vehicle applications and features a customized instruction set architecture that supports advance programming in Ada, with C language support currently still in development process.[4] It features software tools that were developed in India, including a compiler, assembler, linker, and simulator, which demonstrate India's ability to produce mission-critical microelectronics for space applications.[5][3]
