Odisha Expands Semiconductor Cluster with Increased Subsidies under Semicon 2.0
Odisha aims to expand its semiconductor industry under the Centre's Semicon 2.0 programme by targeting at least three more outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing units, along with PCB manufacturers and material companies. The state plans to focus on mid-segment firms serving consumer durables and automobiles rather than large-scale fabs. To maintain competitive incentives, Odisha will raise its subsidy to 35%, complementing the Centre's 40% cap, keeping total support at 75%. The strategy emphasizes clustering, common infrastructure, and attracting suppliers to build a broader semiconductor ecosystem.
