## ANSWER

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

(a) to (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 the country for:

-  Setting up of Semiconductor Fabs in India which provides for a fiscal support of 50% of the project cost on pari-passu basis for setting up of Silicon  CMOS  based Semiconductor Fabs in India.
-  Setting  up  of  Display  Fabs  in  India  which  provides  for  a  fiscal  support  of  50%  of Project Cost on pari-passu basis for setting up of Display Fabs in India.
-  Setting up of Compound Semiconductors / Silicon Photonics / Sensors Fab / Discrete Semiconductors  Fab  and  Semiconductor  Assembly,  Testing,  Marking  and  Packaging (ATMP) / OSAT facilities in India which provides for a fiscal support of 50% of the Capital Expenditure on pari-passu basis for setting up of Compound Semiconductors / Silicon Photonics (SiPh) / Sensors (including MEMS) Fab/ Discrete Semiconductor Fab and Semiconductor ATMP / OSAT facilities in India.
-  Providing incentives on design through 'Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme' which provides '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.
-  Government has also approved modernisation of Semi-Conductor Laboratory, Mohali to enhance efficiency and cycle time.

Government has approved five (5)semiconductor projects with cumulative investment of Rs 1 lakh 52 thousand Crore under the Semicon India Programme. All these approved projects are in different phases of implementation. Further,15 semiconductor design companies have also been approved  under  the  Design  Linked  Incentive  Scheme  to  design  chips  for  Indian  products. Additionally,  41  semiconductor  design  companies  have  been  approved  for  access  of  the  tools required for designing the chips (called EDA tools) which is being made available by National EDA Tool Grid setup at ChipIN Centre at C-DAC Bengaluru.

To create the skilled manpower for chip design, Government has launched the Chips to Startup ('C2S')  programme  which  plans  to  train  85  thousand  specialized  workforce  at  about  113 participating institutions in VLSI and Embedded System Design. List of institutions in Andhra Pradesh supported under these initiatives is in Annexure-I.
