India has achieved a significant milestone with the unveiling of the Vikram, its first fully indigenous 32-bit microprocessor developed by ISRO’s Semiconductor Laboratory. This achievement marks a critical step toward reducing dependency on imported chips and advancing India’s ambition to become a global semiconductor hub under the Semicon India Programme. The government is rapidly expanding semiconductor infrastructure by approving various projects in fabrication, packaging, and design, while engaging major global and domestic companies. This initiative is expected to enhance India’s position in the global semiconductor value chain and foster innovation in the microelectronics sector, indicating a promising future for the Indian defense and technology landscape.
