India is currently working on at least 25 chipsets with indigenous intellectual property (IP), with 13 projects underway led by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Bengaluru. This initiative is part of the government's strategy to shift towards export-led growth in electronics, transforming India from a services nation to a product nation14.
Key Developments:
- Indigenous Semiconductor Production: India's first indigenous semiconductor chip is expected to launch by the end of 2025, marking a significant milestone in reducing import dependence and enhancing national security.
- Government Initiatives: The government has supported over 240 educational institutions with advanced chip design tools and is establishing facilities like the 'ChipIN Centre' to democratize chip design across the country1.
- Workforce Development: The 'Chips to Startup' (C2S) programme aims to train 85,000 engineers in semiconductor design, ensuring a skilled workforce for the industry.
- Export-Led Growth: India is focusing on integrating with global supply chains, with electronics exports surging significantly over the past decade
