Karnataka Leads Semiconductor Support with 73 Chip Tape-Outs, 81 Organisations: MeitY
Karnataka leads India's semiconductor ecosystem with 81 organisations supported and 73 chip tape-outs through the ChipIN Centre, according to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The state also recorded the highest electronic design automation (EDA) tool usage at 88 lakh hours. Tamil Nadu and Telangana follow with significant contributions. The ChipIN Centre, established at C-DAC, offers design infrastructure and supports startups under government schemes. This growth aligns with the Union Cabinet's recent approval of the Semicon 2.0 program to boost semiconductor development.
