India Hosts SEMICON India Conference as Prime Minister Meets Global Chip CEOs to Boost Domestic Production

SEMICON India will host over 240 global chip companies, presenting state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing equipment, advanced design software, and lithography tools, while drawing participants from the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet top semiconductor CEOs at the summit, using the platform to underline the government’s commitment to expand domestic chip fabs, offer tax incentives, and streamline land allocation for new projects.

India’s Semiconductor Mission targets a network of at least six fabrication units, and the cabinet’s recent approval of a fifth plant in Gujarat adds capacity for 200,000 wafers per month, moving the country toward self‑reliance.

Industry analysts predict the conference will spark new joint ventures, noting that the presence of major foundry players, government subsidies, and a focus on supply‑chain resilience could double India’s chip output within five years.
