India Advances Semiconductor and Photonics Sectors with New Clusters and Industry Body
India is advancing its semiconductor and photonics sectors with new technology clusters emerging in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Bhubaneswar. The India Photonics Association (IPA), launched as an independent industry body, aims to foster innovation and collaboration. The government’s Semicon India 2.0 program, with an estimated $40 billion outlay, supports these developments, including provisions for silicon photonics projects. IPA expects one to two industry-led silicon photonics pilot projects to boost the domestic photonics ecosystem and strengthen India’s global position.
