## ANSWER

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

(a) to (e): Government introduced Semicon India Programme with an outlay of Rs 76,000 crore, which provides:

- i. Fiscal support of 50% of the project cost on pari-passu basis for setting up of Silicon Complementary MetalOxide-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 Micro-Electro-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.

Under Semicon India Programme, Government has approved 6 semiconductor manufacturing projects with cumulative investment of around Rs. 1,55,000 crore.

It is a pan India programme and the applicants are free to choose locations for their projects. Many states have designed their semiconductor policies to align with the Semicon India Programme. Applications are evaluated on technical and financial aspects. Applicants choose the project location depending on various parameters  such  as  uninterrupted  power  supply,  availability  and  quality  of  water,  land  availability, proximity of airport, incentives offered under State government policies and other measures relating to ease of doing business provided by the State Governments.

Under the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, the fiscal support is provided to the approved startup and MSMEs. Out of 22 design companies approved under the scheme so far, 3 companies are in the State of Telangana. Apart from the above, design infrastructure support has also been approved to 11 companies in Telangana. Moreover, under Chips to start-up (C2S) programme 22 institutes from Telangana are being supported  with  design  tools  and  6  institutes  are  being  provided  financial  support.  The  details  of beneficiaries in the state of Telangana are Annexed.
