India to train engineers for semiconductor industry
India is gearing up to help fill a worldwide shortage of one million semiconductor professionals expected by 2032.
The government's Semiconductor Mission is investing in skill-building and manufacturing, with Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighting these efforts during the opening of CG Semi's new facility in Gujarat.
India aims to build a $271.9 billion chip industry
This push could be a game-changer for young engineers—India needs 250,000-300,000 more skilled workers by 2027 and is teaming up with 270 universities to train them.
Gujarat alone expects significant job growth as major chip plants ramp up, with over 29,000 new jobs anticipated in ATMP facilities across India.
If all goes well, India could build a $271.9 billion chip industry and become way less dependent on imports—opening big opportunities for the next generation.
