I doubt this will happen, even if they do issue a mandate.

Indian government computers are still running windows 7 or so and its hard to get them to switch to Linux.

What happens when theyre forced to run Linux and a new architecture ? All of them will just obtain exemptions to continue using windows + x86 claiming some software they need doesnt work.

Teaching a 50 year govt employee how to use QEMU + Wine to emulate x86 and then run a translation layer to run windows software is impossible.
