India is rapidly advancing its indigenous chipset development with strong government support under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) launched in 2021. With nearly ₹65,000 crore already allocated to semiconductor projects and an overall mission outlay of ₹76,000 crore, the country has committed investments exceeding ₹1.60 lakh crore across 10 approved projects in six states. India aims to launch its first domestically manufactured semiconductor chips by the end of 2025, showcasing significant progress like the unveiling of the Vikram 32-bit microprocessor developed by ISRO’s Semiconductor Lab. The government is investing over ₹200 crore to develop energy-efficient microprocessors for high-performance computing, including applications in servers and CCTV systems. The initiative is complemented by new fabrication facilities, including partnerships with global players and government-backed plants. SEMICON 2.0, the next phase, is under preparation to expand the ecosystem further by supporting chip design, manufacturing, and allied supply chains. This growth aligns with India’s ambition to become a global electronics manufacturing hub, with a particular focus on smartphones, where 98% are domestically produced, significantly reducing dependence on foreign suppliers and enhancing technological sovereignty.
