India Targets Up to ₹6 Trillion Investment to Build Domestic Semiconductor Industry

India is targeting semiconductor investments of between ₹1 trillion and ₹6 trillion over the next five years, according to a Trade Brains analysis, to build a domestic chip ecosystem and reduce import dependence.

Tata Electronics announced plans to launch the nation’s first chip fabrication plant that will use mature process nodes, aiming to start production within the next two years and provide a cost‑effective base for local device makers.

NITI Aayog released a roadmap for the semiconductor sector, outlining tax incentives, a dedicated fund and skill‑training programmes to attract manufacturers and create a self‑reliant supply chain across design, fabrication and testing.

SEMICON 2026 exhibitors and policymakers highlighted remaining gaps such as limited advanced equipment, the need for stronger R&D collaboration, and the importance of aligning global standards to fully realize India’s chip ambition.
