India Launches Semicon 2.0 Portal to Boost Semiconductor Manufacturing
Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw launched the Semicon 2.0 portal, targeting growth in India's semiconductor sector by attracting major equipment and material manufacturers. He emphasized the programme's focus on serious, technologically capable players, excluding incomplete or frivolous applications. The government approved 118 electronics component manufacturing units, aiming to meet domestic needs and boost exports. The portal currently accepts applications for three pillars: machines and materials, fabs, and packaging, with design, R&D, and talent to follow.
