India’s premier semiconductor event, SEMICON India 2025, is taking place from September 2–4, 2025, at Yashobhoomi (IICC), New Delhi. Jointly organized by SEMI and the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) under MeitY, the event aims to bring together global industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to accelerate India’s journey toward becoming a semiconductor hub.

PM Modi Inaugurates SEMICON India 2025, Calls It a Defining Chapter

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated SEMICON India 2025 at 10 AM on September 2 in New Delhi, calling it “an important platform that brings together global semiconductor leaders” and “a defining chapter in India’s semiconductor journey.” He highlighted the presence of experts from more than 40–50 countries, India’s innovation and youth power, and said that innovation and investment are driving a new wave of growth.

“This combination sends one message — the world trusts India, believes in India, and is ready to build the future of semiconductors with India,” Modi said,

underscoring the event’s role in strengthening India’s semiconductor ecosystem, accelerating technological self-reliance, and positioning the country as a future semiconductor superpower.

First ‘Made in Bharat’ Chips Unveiled

Union Minister for Electronics & IT Ashwini Vaishnaw presented the Vikram 32-bit processor and test chips from four approved semiconductor projects to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This landmark moment marks the unveiling of the first Made-in-Bharat chips, symbolizing India’s leap toward semiconductor self-reliance and its growing capability in advanced chip design and manufacturing.

India’s Semiconductor Landscape Expands with 10 New Projects

The India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) has cleared 10 new semiconductor manufacturing projects across the country, supported by central and state incentives. These approvals boost India’s domestic manufacturing capacity, enhance technological self-reliance, and strengthen its position as an emerging hub for chip design, fabrication, and advanced packaging.

India on Track to Enter Top 5 Semiconductor League by 2032

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that India is on track to join the world’s top five semiconductor nations by 2032, with $10 billion already committed under the ISM. The plan includes setting up 4–6 new fabs, 10 OSAT/ATMP plants, and expanding design, materials, and talent development initiatives. He added that SEMICON India 2025 will serve as a catalyst for global partnerships, further positioning India as a competitive hub for wafer manufacturing and advanced chipmaking.

Global Semiconductor Scenario

The global semiconductor industry is projected to cross USD 1 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of nearly 7–8%. Demand is being fueled by AI chips, autonomous vehicles, 5G infrastructure, and IoT devices, with AI alone expected to account for over 20% of chip demand by 2030. Leading economies like the USA, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are investing over USD 500 billion through initiatives such as the US CHIPS Act (USD 52 billion) and EU Chips Act (EUR 43 billion).

Post-pandemic shortages have underscored the need for diversified manufacturing and resilient supply chains, making global collaboration a necessity.

Indian Semiconductor Scenario

India is targeting a USD 63 billion semiconductor market by 2026, supported by the ₹76,000 crore PLI & ISM program to attract fabs, compound semiconductor units, and display manufacturing. Major projects include Micron’s USD 2.75 billion ATMP facility in Gujarat, Tata Group’s upcoming fab projects, and Applied Materials’ USD 400 million R&D center in Bengaluru.

The government expects these initiatives to create 100,000+ high-tech jobs and significantly reduce the country’s ₹1.5 lakh crore annual chip import bill. With 20% of the world’s chip design engineers already based in India, the country aims to become a key contributor to both design and manufacturing by 2030.

Impact of SEMICON India 2025

Boost to India’s Semiconductor Ambitions

The event is expected to catalyze multi-billion-dollar investments by connecting policymakers, global chipmakers, and domestic startups. It will play a pivotal role in attracting advanced-node fabs, strengthening India’s OSAT/ATMP ecosystem, and facilitating technology transfer agreements.

Job Creation and Skill Development

SEMICON India 2025 will serve as a massive talent-building platform. Through SEMI U trainings and workforce development sessions, thousands of engineers and technicians will gain exposure to semiconductor design, fabrication, and packaging — helping India meet its skilled manpower targets.

Global Collaboration & Supply Chain Resilience

With participation from 18+ countries, the event will strengthen global partnerships and promote supply-chain diversification, reducing reliance on a few geographies — a critical step toward preventing disruptions like those seen during the pandemic.

Agenda Highlights

• Day 1: Workforce Development (WFD) and Components & Materials Tracks
  
• Day 2: Country Roundtables, Market Research Insights, International Business Cooperation, Ecosystem Development
  
• Day 3: Full-day SEMI U Trainings and SID Conference
  

SEMI U Trainings

A key highlight of SEMICON India 2025 will be SEMI U, offering structured training on semiconductor fundamentals such as device physics, wafer processing, process nodes, and design flows. These sessions are ideal for engineers, researchers, and students aspiring to join India’s fast-growing chip industry.

India’s March Toward Semiconductor Leadership

SEMICON India 2025 is far more than an industry exhibition. It represents a turning point in India’s ambition to be a global semiconductor powerhouse. By bringing together industry leaders, academia, startups, and government, the event acts as a launchpad for strategic collaborations, breakthrough innovations, and technology transfers.

Its outcomes are expected to generate high-value jobs, nurture a skilled workforce, and embed India firmly into the global semiconductor supply chain, making the country not just a participant but a driving force in the chip industry of the future.

True Knowledge as the Foundation

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj teaches in His discourses that true knowledge (Satgyan) is what guides humanity from darkness to light. Just as semiconductors are the backbone of the digital age, empowering the world with energy-efficient and intelligent solutions, Satgyan empowers the soul with clarity, purpose, and direction. India’s semiconductor mission is not merely a technological leap but also a reflection of how knowledge, skill, and wisdom must converge for the greater good. 

Sant Rampal Ji’s message reminds us that when right knowledge and right practice come together, real progress and lasting peace become possible.
