At the SEMICON India 2026 conference in New Delhi, several major announcements underscored India’s growing role in the global semiconductor ecosystem. Applied Materials pledged a $5 billion investment over the next decade to expand its research and development, supply chain, and workforce capabilities in India, including the establishment of a 140-acre R&D park.

Tata Electronics announced the signing of 16 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with international partners to build a comprehensive manufacturing network. Key partnerships include a collaboration with Nexperia for chip manufacturing, packaging, and testing, and an agreement with Fujifilm to develop a localized semiconductor materials supply chain. Fujifilm plans to invest approximately Rs 800 crore to establish a materials plant in the Dholera Special Investment Region to support Tata’s upcoming 300mm wafer fab.

Tata Electronics is currently advancing two major projects: a semiconductor fabrication plant in Dholera, Gujarat, and a packaging and testing facility in Jagiroad, Assam. These initiatives are supported by the Indian government’s Semicon 2.0 program, which has attracted commitments totaling $11 billion to $12 billion. Additionally, Teradyne has opened a new office in Bengaluru to provide technical support and training for the expanding domestic chipmaking sector.
