India Advances Semiconductor Industry Amid Calls for Self-Reliance by 2047
Experts from India's Defence Research and Development Organisation warn that without self-reliance in semiconductor design and manufacturing by 2047, the country risks strategic setbacks in future conflicts driven by AI and cyber technologies. While India contributes significantly to AI data and chip design workforce, it remains heavily dependent on imports. A recent Strat360 report highlights India's growing electronics production, expanding semiconductor packaging units, and government initiatives like Semicon 2.0 and the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme aimed at boosting domestic value addition and industry depth over the next five years.
