India anticipates the establishment of three semiconductor chip fabrication units in the coming months, with combined investments ranging between $8-12 billion, as announced by Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw. Ongoing discussions involve Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Gujarat, and Karnataka for the unit setups. Vaishnaw expects at least two promising proposals for fabrication and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) soon, noting the sector’s potential as a significant contributor to electronics, telecom, and defense manufacturing. The recent commencement of Micron’s semiconductor plant construction in September boosts confidence in India’s semiconductor mission. AMD’s new global design center in Bengaluru, part of a $400 million investment over five years, emphasizes India’s role in semiconductor design and talent development.
