India Seeks to Strengthen Semiconductor Supply Chain and Manufacturing Ecosystem
India's semiconductor demand is rapidly increasing, with imports expected to reach $240 billion by 2035, highlighting the need to strengthen domestic manufacturing and supply chains. The semiconductor industry is sensitive to geopolitical tensions affecting critical raw materials. Meanwhile, India's manufacturing sector faces a significant imbalance, with micro enterprises vastly outnumbering medium ones, limiting the growth of a robust supplier ecosystem essential for industries like semiconductors and electric vehicles. Scaling up medium enterprises and enhancing competitiveness are key to supporting industrial transformation and local value addition.
