What happened
Ashwini Vaishnaw outlined the next phase of India’s semiconductor push, called Semicon 2.0, at Semicon India 2026. This strategy is structured around six pillars: chip design, machines and materials, semiconductor fabs, advanced packaging, research and development, and talent. Under Semicon 2.0, the government aims to support at least 200 chip design startups and companies, scaling up from the 105 supported in the first phase.
Why it matters
The initiative aims to move India beyond building fabrication plants to establishing a complete domestic semiconductor ecosystem. The program also targets training 1 lakh individuals to build a talent pool for domestic manufacturing facilities.
