India semiconductor industry expansion

Overview

India continues to expand its semiconductor ecosystem through significant government approvals and industry engagement. The central government has approved 12 projects across six states, with investment commitments exceeding Rs 1.64 lakh crore. This includes the Semicon 2.0 initiative, which allocates Rs 1,27,500 crore toward chip design, fabrication, and advanced packaging.

Specific developments include the approval of a Rs 3,406.25 crore silicon carbide manufacturing facility by SiCSem Private Limited in Odisha’s Khordha district. During the SEMICON India 2026 summit in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted that commercial production has already commenced in Mohali and Surat. He emphasized the transition from foundational infrastructure to “large-scale industrial opportunity,” highlighting the need for collaboration in skilling, AI, and quantum computing.

The Semicon 2.0 strategic phase is focused on six pillars: design, machinery and materials, fab establishment, ATMP/OSAT strengthening, R&D, and talent development. To support workforce training, Infineon and NIELIT have launched a semiconductor manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Ahmedabad.

Major industry players have also committed to the region. Lam Research Corp. plans to invest approximately INR 10,000 crores to establish its first silicon component manufacturing facility in India, while Fujifilm India announced plans for a new factory in Dholera, Gujarat. The SEMICON India 2026 event, themed ‘Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem’, featured over 600 exhibitors and high-level discussions with executives from Micron, Intel, AMD, ASML, and Tata Electronics.
