India Launches $13 Billion Plan to Develop Domestic Semiconductor Industry
India plans to invest $13 billion in the second phase of its semiconductor mission to build a domestic chip ecosystem spanning design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing. The government aims to reduce reliance on imports amid rising domestic demand expected to reach $200 billion by 2035. Twelve projects across six states have been approved, with companies like Micron and Tata Electronics initiating production. A key focus is training 100,000 semiconductor engineers to address skill shortages, supporting India's established strength in chip design and advancing its self-reliance goals.
