- 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.

Under Semicon India Programme, during last three years, Government has approved five (5) semiconductor  manufacturing  projects  with  cumulative  investment  of  around  Rs.  1,52,000 crore. This includes four projects in the state of Gujarat and one in the state of Assam.

- (b):        India  Semiconductor  Mission  supports  setting  up  the  semiconductor  manufacturing units in the country. It does not have any provision for setting up of Semiconductor Missions in any State. States are free to setup their own semiconductor Missions.
- (c):These  proposals  are  currently  under  different  stages  of  appraisal  and  approval  process. Further, 3 proposals for fiscal support and 9 proposals for EDA tool access support have been approved  under  Design Linked Incentive (DLI)  Scheme  in  the State of Telangana. Additionally,  7  institutes  /  universities  have  been  approved  under  Chip  to  Startup  (C2S) Programme  in  the  state  of  Telangana.  The  list  of  beneficiaries  under  DLI  and  C2S Programme in the state of Telangana is at Annexure.
- (d):        Till  date,  Rs  60,269  crore  has  been  committed  for  the  5  approved  manufacturing projects.
- (e):          The  approvals  are  done  after  examination  by  Techno-Financial  Advisory  Group (TFAG), which examines the proposals  from  Technical  and  financial  aspects.  Further,  the processing  also  depends  on  the  relevant  document  submissions  by  the  applicants  like Technology tie up agreement, Offtake agreements, documents related to financial closure etc.
