New Delhi: In a landmark moment for India’s technology and electronics manufacturing sector, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that India’s first domestically produced semiconductor chip will hit the market by the end of this year. He made the announcement during his address to the nation on the 79th Independence Day from the Red Fort.

“Made by India, for the World”

PM Modi highlighted the significant strides India has made in the semiconductor space, stating that six semiconductor units are already operational and four more units have recently been approved.

“By the end of this year, made in India, made by the people of India, made in India chips will come to the market,” Modi said.

Semiconductors are the backbone of modern electronics, finding applications in everything from mobile phones and laptops to household appliances and electric vehicles.

A Delayed Journey, Now Back on Track

Reflecting on India’s missed opportunities in the past, the Prime Minister said the concept of semiconductor manufacturing in the country began 50–60 years ago but got entangled in bureaucratic delays.

“The thought process of the semiconductor itself was foeticide 50-60 years ago. It lost 50-60 years… Other countries moved forward while we were stuck,” said Modi.

He clarified that his comments were not meant to criticize any past government but to inform India’s youth about the importance of not letting visionary projects stagnate.

Moving Ahead in Mission Mode

Modi noted that the country has now freed itself from the burden of missed opportunities and is moving forward in “mission mode” to emerge as a global hub in semiconductor manufacturing.

He also pointed to the significant policy reforms, infrastructure development, and foreign collaborations that have created a favorable ecosystem for semiconductor growth in India.

India’s Semiconductor Boom: Key Developments

According to government sources and industry estimates:

  • India’s semiconductor market was worth USD 45–50 billion in 2024–25, up from USD 38 billion in 2023.
  • It is expected to more than double to USD 100–110 billion by 2030.

Cabinet-Approved Projects This Week:

  • 3D Glass Solutions Inc. (backed by Intel, Lockheed Martin, Applied Materials)
  • Investment: ₹1,943 crore

Location: Odisha

  • Output: 5 crore units/year
  • SiCsem Compound Fab Unit
  • Investment: ₹2,066 crore

Location: Bhubaneswar

  • Output: 9.6 crore chips/year
  • Advanced System in Package Technologies
  • Investment: ₹468 crore

Location: Andhra Pradesh

  • Output: 9.6 crore chips/year
  • CDIL Semiconductor Project
  • Investment: ₹117 crore

Location: Punjab

  • Output: 15.8 crore units/year

These four newly approved units add to the six existing semiconductor plants, bringing the total to 10 with a combined investment of ₹1.6 lakh crore.

Major Ongoing Chip Manufacturing Projects

  • Tata Electronics & PSMC (Taiwan) – ₹91,000 crore
  • Micron Technology – ₹22,516 crore
  • CG Power-Renesas-Stars – ₹7,600 crore
  • TSAT (Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test) – ₹27,000 crore
  • Kaynes Semicon – ₹3,307 crore
  • HCL-Foxconn JV – ₹3,700 crore

These projects primarily focus on semiconductor wafer manufacturing and advanced chip packaging.

A New Era of Tech Self-Reliance

India’s foray into domestic semiconductor production is a historic milestone in its journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). With strategic foreign partnerships, strong government backing, and a robust demand ecosystem, India is poised to play a key role in the global semiconductor value chain.
