Vikram-3201: India’s Custom 32-bit Processor Built for Ada

India’s first 32-bit microprocessor, Vikram-3201, was entirely designed and developed by the country. It has its own custom instruction set and was specifically designed to work seamlessly with the Ada programming language, due to being in widespread use in mission-critical systems, particularly in aerospace and defence applications. Even a custom compiler and other tools were developed for it.
