At the Semicon India 2025 summit held in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India will begin commercial semiconductor production this year itself, marking a major milestone in the country’s push to become a global tech manufacturing hub. With over ₹1.5 lakh crore invested across 10 semiconductor projects, India is now entering the execution phase of its semiconductor mission.
A Strategic Leap Forward
India’s semiconductor journey began with the launch of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) in 2021. Now, the country has approved:
- Two fabrication units (fabs)
- Eight packaging and testing facilities
- Twenty-three chip design projects under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme
Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw presented the first Made-in-India chip, the Vikram 32-bit processor, to PM Modi — a symbolic moment that reflects India’s transition from backend support to full-stack semiconductor capability.
Why It Matters
Semiconductors are the backbone of modern technology, powering everything from smartphones and electric vehicles to defense systems and AI infrastructure. India’s entry into commercial chip production is expected to:
- Reduce dependence on global supply chains
- Strengthen national security and digital sovereignty
- Create thousands of high-skilled jobs
- Attract global investment in electronics and AI sectors
PM Modi described chips as “digital diamonds of the 21st century,” positioning India as a future leader in chip design and manufacturing.
Global Confidence in India
India’s semiconductor push has drawn strong interest from global players. Japan has pledged significant investment in semiconductor and AI cooperation. With 20% of global chip design talent already based in India, the country is leveraging its human capital advantage to build a resilient and competitive ecosystem.
