A new initiative to establish indigenous semiconductor foundries, reducing India’s reliance on chip imports and securing a domestic supply chain, thereby supporting self-reliance in semiconductor manufacturing. To overcome India’s limited domestic semiconductor wafer fabrication capabilities, the “National Semiconductor Foundry Establishment” initiative focuses on building and operating indigenous manufacturing plants. This provides comprehensive foundry services, significantly reducing reliance on chip imports and securing a domestic supply chain. This is crucial for achieving India’s strategic goal of self-reliance in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly for critical sectors like defense, automotive, and consumer electronics.
