Made in India Semiconductor Chips Near Launch: India’s First Domestic Chip by 2025
📰 A New Era for India’s Tech Industry: Made in India Semiconductor Chips Near Launch by 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has confirmed that India’s first Made in India semiconductor chips will be available in the market by the end of 2025, marking a turning point in the country’s journey toward technological self-reliance. Alongside this, work is also progressing on a fully indigenous 6G network, showcasing India’s ambition to become a global leader in future technologies.
This announcement comes as part of India’s ₹76,000 crore Semicon India mission, with multiple chip fabrication projects already underway. Let’s take a closer look at five key things to know about India’s first semiconductor chip project.
🌍1. India’s First Domestic Semiconductor Chip:
In May 2025, IT and Electronics Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw revealed that India will roll out its first 28-90 nm semiconductor chips this year. These chips are designed for industries like automotive, telecom, power, and railways—a sector that accounts for nearly 60% of global semiconductor demand.
Unlike advanced 5 nm or 3 nm chips used in smartphones, the 28-90 nm chips are crucial for essential industries and infrastructure, making them the backbone of India’s initial semiconductor ecosystem.
🏭 2. India’s Semiconductor Mission Gains Speed:
The Made in India semiconductor chips initiative is backed by multiple government-funded programs such as PLI (Production-Linked Incentives), ISM (India Semiconductor Mission), and international partnerships.
Currently, six major fabrication plants are under construction, with global players like Micron, Tata Electronics, CG Power, Kaynes, and HCL-Foxconn investing billions in facilities across Gujarat, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, and Punjab.
These investments are expected to transform India into a semiconductor manufacturing hub, reducing dependence on imports from Taiwan, South Korea, and China.
📅 3. SEMICON India 2025 – Showcasing the Chip Revolution:
India will host SEMICON India 2025 at Yashobhoomi (IICC), New Delhi, from September 2–4, 2025. The event, inaugurated by PM Modi, will bring together 350+ global exhibitors, policymakers, startups, and academia.
Interestingly, this year’s exhibition will not feature Chinese companies, underlining India’s push for strategic independence in semiconductor technology.
👩🎓 4. Training India’s Future Chip Experts:
For long-term growth, India is not just building factories but also skilling manpower. The AICTE and NIELIT have rolled out new VLSI design and semiconductor manufacturing courses.
85,000+ skilled professionals will be trained over the next decade.
45,000+ students from 100 institutions are already enrolled.
The C2S program has supported 278 institutions and 72 startups with EDA tools.
20 indigenous chips have already been fabricated by Indian institutions as of August 2025.
This emphasis on education and R&D ensures that India’s semiconductor growth is sustainable and innovation-driven.
📊 5. Why Made in India Semiconductor Chips Matter:
Semiconductors are the “oil of the digital age”, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. India currently imports 100% of its chips, making it vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.
With domestic production set to begin, India will:
✅ Boost its economic security
✅ Reduce reliance on imports
✅ Create millions of jobs across manufacturing, R&D, and supply chains
✅ Strengthen its position in global technology and AI ecosystems
🌟 Final Thoughts: India’s Road to Tech Aatmanirbharta
The launch of Made in India semiconductor chips by 2025 represents more than a manufacturing milestone—it is a strategic leap in India’s journey toward Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
By combining large-scale government funding, international partnerships, domestic R&D, and a skilled workforce, India is positioning itself as a future semiconductor powerhouse.
As Prime Minister Modi emphasized, India’s chip production and 6G network development will define the nation’s technological era in the coming decade.
