India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 launched at Semicon India 2025
India just kicked off the second phase of its big semiconductor push, with PM Modi setting the stage for the India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 at Semicon India 2025.
The goal? To make India a major player in global chip design and manufacturing—what Modi called "digital diamonds."
ISM is bringing $18 billion to set up 10 new units
ISM is bringing $18 billion to set up 10 new semiconductor units, including a pilot facility at CG Semi's Sanand plant—marking a big step toward homegrown chips.
The event has drawn industry giants like ASML and Tokyo Electron Limited, plus reps from 33 countries (but no Chinese exhibitors this year).
With the global chip market expected to cross $1 trillion soon, India's aiming for a bigger slice of that pie by attracting more investment and tech talent into its growing semiconductor scene.
