New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday highlighted an article by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, which states that in the coming decade, as India’s semiconductor units attain scale and maturity, the nation is set to emerge as a competitive hub for the entire semiconductor value chain.
PM Modi said the article elaborates “Bharat’s transformative semiconductor journey, noting that the Semicon India Summit 2025 marks the continuation of this path.”
The article sees semiconductors as part of foundational sectors such as steel, power, telecom, chemicals, transport and semiconductors. They are the hidden engines inside almost everything we use. Smartphones, cars, trains, medical equipment, defence systems, power grids, satellites, and artificial intelligence, it observes. The Minister for Electronics & IT has stated that semiconductors are only going to rise in future.
