Government Sees 100 Fabless Semiconductor Firms Target as Achievable Under Semicon 2.0
The Indian government considers its goal of nurturing 100 fabless semiconductor firms under the Semicon 2.0 programme achievable, with 24 approvals granted so far. Approvals will depend on proposal quality, continuing the approach from Semicon 1.0. The India Semiconductor Mission supports startups with financial aid, design tools, infrastructure, and intellectual property assistance. The revamped framework removes previous funding caps, allowing larger financial support for semiconductor design projects, aiming to build a comprehensive semiconductor ecosystem including legacy fabs, advanced packaging, and R&D.
