Rigetti Computing said its India subsidiary received an $8.4 million purchase order to deliver a 108-qubit quantum computer to India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology R&D organization. The on-premises system is expected to be installed at C-DAC’s Bengaluru center and deployed in the second half of 2026.

Rigetti said the system will use its chiplet-based architecture, positioning the deal as part of a broader push by national governments toward local, on-site quantum computing infrastructure. The company noted the order builds on a prior relationship, including a September 2025 memorandum of understanding with C-DAC to explore co-developing hybrid quantum computing systems.
