NASH Industries Launches India’s First ‘Make in India’ Motherboard Series Based on Intel Raptor Lake Platform
Bengaluru-based NASH Industries has launched its first series of ‘Make in India’ motherboards powered by Intel’s Raptor Lake processor platform using the Intel B760 chipset. The development marks an important step in strengthening India’s indigenous electronics design and manufacturing ecosystem under the broader vision of “Design and Make in India.”The newly developed motherboards are targeted at industrial and embedded computing applications and are designed to support emerging technologies such as:
The initiative reflects India’s growing capability in advanced electronics manufacturing and semiconductor-linked hardware design.
The motherboard series has been described as a future-ready industrial edge AI platform designed and developed in India.The platform supports applications including:
The launch assumes significance because motherboard design and firmware integration involve high-value segments of the electronics value chain traditionally dominated by global manufacturers.
The development contributes to several strategic objectives:
| Area | Significance |
|---|---|
| Electronics Manufacturing | Strengthens domestic hardware production |
| Technology Sovereignty | Reduces dependence on imported computing hardware |
| AI Infrastructure | Supports edge AI and industrial computing |
| Employment Generation | Promotes high-skill electronics manufacturing |
| Export Potential | Enables India to emerge as global electronics hub |
The project also aligns with India’s emphasis on:
The motherboards are based on Intel’s Raptor Lake (RPL) processor family.
The Raptor Lake platform is optimized for:
The use of the Intel B760 chipset enables support for advanced connectivity and industrial-grade computing workloads.Intel also provided:
This collaboration highlights the role of multinational technology partnerships in accelerating India’s domestic electronics capabilities.
The motherboard series is positioned as an industrial edge AI platform.
Edge AI refers to running AI algorithms locally on devices near the source of data generation instead of relying entirely on cloud computing.Advantages include:
AIoT integrates:
Applications include:
The launch is important from the perspective of:
India seeks to reduce dependence on imported electronic components and high-end computing systems.
While India is still developing semiconductor fabrication capacity, motherboard and embedded system manufacturing strengthen the downstream electronics ecosystem.
The initiative supports India’s transition from:
