It serves as the nodal agency for the Semicon India Programme\, with the core objective of establishing India as a trusted gl obal hub for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing\, ensuring econom ic security and technological self-reliance.\n\nWhy Semiconductors Matter for India\nSemiconductors are the backbone of the modern digital economy\, powering smartphones\, data centers\, 5G networks\, electric vehicles\, d efence equipment\, and space systems. Without a reliable semiconductor sup ply\, the vision of Digital India\, Industry 4.0\, and Atmanirbhar Bharat cannot be realized.\n\nRecent global disruptions further highlighted this dependence. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant vulnerabilities in g lobal semiconductor supply chains\, with shortages impacting more than 169 industries worldwide. This emphasized the urgent need for India to streng then its domestic semiconductor ecosystem and reduce dependence on a limit ed number of global suppliers.\n\nKey Focus Areas of ISM\nThe mission focu ses on four major areas to establish a comprehensive semiconductor ecosyst em:\n\n1. Semiconductor Fabs – Setting up fabrication plants for Silicon CMOS technologies in India.\n2. Display Fabs – Establishing display fab rication units to support India's rapidly growing electronics sector.\n3. ATMP/OSAT Facilities – Developing Assembly\, Testing\, Marking\, and Pac kaging infrastructure across the country.\n4. Design Linked Incentive (DLI ) – Encouraging chip design through financial incentives\, design infras tructure\, and support for startups and MSMEs.\n\nMajor Projects Approved\ nSeveral landmark projects have been approved under the Semicon India Prog ramme:\n\n• Tata Electronics Semiconductor Fab – A 28 nm semiconductor fabrication facility at Dholera\, Gujarat\, in partnership with Taiwan's Powerchip\, with an investment of approximately ₹91\,000 crore and a pla nned production capacity of 50\,000 wafers per month.\n• Tata Electronic s ATMP Facility – A state-of-the-art Assembly\, Testing\, Marking\, and Packaging facility in Assam with an investment of ₹27\,000 crore\, capab le of assembling and testing up to 48 million chips per day for automotive \, electric vehicle\, and consumer electronics applications.\n• CG Power –Renesas ATMP Unit – A specialized semiconductor packaging facility in Sanand\, Gujarat\, established by CG Power in collaboration with Renesas (Japan)\, with an investment of ₹7\,600 crore\, focusing on automotive\, industrial\, and consumer semiconductor products.\n\nFuture Outlook\nAlth ough challenges such as high capital investment\, a developing materials e cosystem\, and technological complexities remain\, the India Semiconductor Mission represents a transformative step toward achieving technological s elf-reliance. It creates significant opportunities for engineers\, researc hers\, startups\, and industry professionals in semiconductor design\, man ufacturing\, advanced packaging\, process engineering\, materials research \, and innovation\, positioning India as an emerging leader in the global semiconductor value chain.\n\nRaipur\, Chhattisgarh\, India LOCATION:Raipur\, Chhattisgarh\, India ORGANIZER:deepika@iiitnr.edu.in SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:MakeInSilicon: International Symposium On Enabling Indigenous Semic onductor Infrastructure URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/591039 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The <strong>India Semiconductor Mission (I SM)</strong> is an independent institution under the <strong>Ministry of E lectronics and Information Technology (MeitY)\, Government of India</stron g>.
