India Moves Towards Becoming a Global Semiconductor Hub
India is seriously working on building its own semiconductor industry, and industry experts are excited about the progress. During the recent SEMICON India event, leaders from the tech world shared their optimism about the country’s fast-growing semiconductor ecosystem.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently expressed strong ambitions for India’s semiconductor growth, and the industry leaders agree that the country is on the right track. India’s talented workforce, supportive government policies, and collaborations with international companies are key reasons behind this speedy development.
Benjamin Lin, President of Delta Electronics India, explained, “India has a bright future in semiconductors. We have good connections with industry players from Taiwan, Japan, Germany, and the US. Now, we are committed to supporting the growth of India’s semiconductor industry too.”
Similarly, Shitendra Bhattacharya, Director at Emerson, highlighted the rising demand in India. “The semiconductors made here will be sold around the world,” he said. “Plus, India’s local demand is growing quickly, especially with more products being made domestically, including defense equipment and electronics. We can become a major global hub for semiconductors in the coming years.”
Raghu Panicke, CEO of Kaynes SemiCon, pointed out the importance of industry events. “Events like SEMICON India help us connect with partners and customers. Over the next few days, we plan to meet many stakeholders interested in our products and services,” he said.
Sanjeev Srivastava of Delta Electronics emphasized that India’s semiconductor industry is still in its early stages but growing fast. “Today, no electronic device—whether a toy or a smartphone—can be made without chips, and India’s huge demand for electronics drives this industry,” he explained. “We’re confident that India has the resources and talent to develop this industry without needing much foreign help.”
At the ‘Semicon India 2025’ event, 12 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed. These agreements aim to develop new indigenous technologies, including camera modules, microphone buds, tiny packaging solutions, and programs to nurture talent in the semiconductor sector.
Overall, India’s journey to becoming a leading player in semiconductor manufacturing is gaining momentum, and experts believe the country is well on its way to achieving this goal.
