## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a), (c), (d) and (e):Government has approved Semicon India programme with a total outlay of Rs 76,000 crore for the development of semiconductor and display manufacturing ecosystem in India. which provides:

- (i) Fiscal support of 50% of the project cost on pari-passu basis for setting up of Silicon Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) based Semiconductor Fabs in India.
- (ii) Fiscal  support  of  50%  of  Project  Cost  on  pari-passu  basis  for  setting  up  of  Display Fabs in India.
- (iii) Fiscal support of 50% of the Capital Expenditure on pari-passu basis for setting up of Compound  Semiconductors  /  Silicon  Photonics  (SiPh)  /  Sensors  (including  MicroElectro-Mechanical  Systems)  Fab/  Discrete  Semiconductor  Fab  and  Semiconductor Assembly,  Testing,  Marking  and  Packaging  (ATMP)  /  Outsourced  Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facilities in India.
- (iv) Product Design Linked Incentive of up to 50% of the eligible expenditure subject to a ceiling of ₹15 Crore per application and also 'Deployment Linked Incentive' of 6% to 4% of net sales turnover over 5 years subject to a ceiling of ₹30 Crore per application for incentivising chip design.

Government  has  also  approved  modernisation  of  Semi-Conductor  Laboratory,  Mohali  to enhance efficiency and cycle time.

To strengthen semiconductor manufacturing and creating a semiconductor ecosystem in the country,  Government  has  entered  in  Memorandum  of  Understanding  (MoU)  with  USA, European Union, Japan and Singapore.

This Programme is a pan India programme. Under this programme, Government has approved five (5) semiconductor manufacturing projects that includes One Semiconductor Fabrication facility  and  Four  (4)  Semiconductor  ATMP/OSAT  facilities  under  Semicon  India  Program with cumulative investment of around Rs. 1,52,000 crore.

17  semiconductor  design  companies  have  also  been  approved  under  the  Design  Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme to design chips for Indian products. Further 67 companies (including 4  companies  from  Maharashtra)  have  been  approved  under  DLI  Scheme  for  EDA  tool infrastructure support.

ISM has 19 approved beneficiaries in the state of Maharashtra as detailed in the Annexure .

(b):Semiconductors are central to the global digital economy. As per industry estimates, the global  semiconductor  demand  is  estimated  to  reach  USD  1  trillion  by  2030.    Industry estimates indicate, the semiconductor demand in India to reach around USD 100 billion by 2030,with  the  automobile,  consumer  electronics,  and  industrial  sectors  being  the  major contributors to this demand.

(f):The  other  steps  taken  by  the  Government  to  make  India  self-reliant  in  semiconductor manufacturing sector:

- i. Talent Development: Recognizing the importance of Talent development in Semiconductor domain, Government of India has been making significant efforts to develop  India  as  a  global  talent  hub  for  semiconductors.  New  curriculums  for Diploma,  Under-Graduate,  Post  Graduate  and  Doctoral  programmes  have  been prepared in consultation with Industry which are being implemented by Ministry of Education and AICTE.
- ii. Chips to Start-up (C2S) Programme: has  also  been  initiated  with  an  aim  to  train 85,000  number  of  industry-ready  manpower  specialized  in  the  area  of  VLSI/  Chip design/ Embedded System Design and leapfrog in ESDM space by way of inculcating the culture of Chip/ System-on-Chip (SoC)/ System Level Design and act as catalyst for growth of Start-ups involved in semiconductor design in the country.
- iii. Collaborationswith other nations: Government of India hasalso established collaborative partnership with relevant stakeholders such as MoU with USA, Japan, European  Union.  Additionally,  India  Semiconductor  Mission  has  signed  MoU  with Purdue University and IBM India Private Limited.
