The planned $10.8 billion fund by India to boost domestic chipmaking is expected to significantly impact the global semiconductor market by increasing supply and fostering competition. This initiative could attract major chipmakers, benefiting companies like Micron Technology, Tata Group, and Foxconn, and potentially shifting parts of the global supply chain to India.
India is set to launch a fund exceeding 1 trillion rupees ($10.8 billion) to bolster its domestic semiconductor manufacturing industry. This initiative, expected within two to three months, will provide subsidies for chip design, manufacturing equipment, and supply chain development. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is spearheading this effort, building on a previous $10 billion incentive program from 2021. The goal is to transform India into a global manufacturing hub for semiconductors, leveraging its engineering talent and attracting major chipmakers. Companies like Micron Technology, Tata Group, and Foxconn have already committed to projects in India. While initial projects focus on less sophisticated chips, India aims to achieve advanced chipmaking capabilities comparable to Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States by 2032, as stated by federal technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. This move mirrors global trends where governments, including the United States with its CHIPS and Science Act and China with state-backed funds, are investing heavily in their domestic chip industries to ensure self-sufficiency and meet rising demand from various sectors.
