The first signs of localisation of the semiconductor ecosystem are beginning to show up. After Micron announced its plans to set up a packaging and testing unit in India, at least 4 to 5 of the top suppliers of components and materials to the semiconductor industry are set to follow suit, according to top industry sources.

He added that fabless companies can design in India with the IP owned in the country on their own or in partnership with domestic startups to become eligible for the incentives. The DLI scheme is aimed at incentivising chip designing in India by supporting the sale of designs for Integrated Circuits (ICs), Chipsets,System of Chips (SoCs), Systems or IP Cores.

Real estate giant Hiranandani group, which is venturing into the semiconductor space through its company Tarq Semiconductors, expects an approval for its compound semiconductor fab project from the government in the next two months, Darshan Hiranandani, chief executive officer of the group, told FE in an interaction.

This facility, which will in phases expand to 300 chip design engineers performing high-tech roles, will comprise members from top Synopsys teams such as Hardware Analytics and Test (HAT) and Hardware Development Group(HDG), including HDG Analog and HDG Design/ Verification, CMO Odisha said in a statement.

The Union government is evaluating a proposal to include large multinational companies in India s 200 million design linked incentive (DLI) scheme if they were designing chips in the country, said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and information technology (IT).

Presenting a comprehensive outlook on the Government of India’s policy on semiconductors at the Semicon India Conference 2023, Dr. Jaishankar highlighted a wide variety of engagements between India and its Quad partners.

Gujarat will be the first state to set up a factory where these semiconductor chips will be manufactured, and other states will follow. The central government has been in talks with the biggest players across the world that can help set up a semiconductor manufacturing plant in India.

Prime Minister Modi to inaugurate Semicon India 2023 at Gandhinagar on July 28 USA semiconductor toolmaker Applied Materials is positive about India’s semiconductor approach, as it sees multiple elements of domestic consumption, strategic thinking, and enabling policies come together, according to a senior company executive.

Speaking at the Semicon India 2023 conference in Gandhinagar, on Saturday, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and IT hinted that government will expand the design linked incentive (DLI) scheme for semiconductor companies to include larger companies both local and foreign to promote semiconductor designing in India.

Three US companies — Micron Technology, Lam Research and Applied Materials — made specific commitments that have been the subject of your deliberations as well,” he said. Jaishankar said India’s entry as the latest member of the ‘Minerals Security Partnership’ is worth noting, given the importance today of diversifying and securing supply chains in that area.
