## ANSWER

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

(a) to (e): The semiconductor development strategy is inspired by Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, Make for the world. As part of this strategy, India  aims  to  develop  a  complete  ecosystem,  ranging  from  design,  fabrication,  assembly, testing, packaging and module manufacturing .  India's Semiconductor strategy builds on the success of the electronics manufacturing. India is providing the most competitive incentives though following programmes to promote electronics/semiconductor manufacturing across the country, thereby increasing India's share in global electronics markets:

- a) Semicon India Programme
- b) PLI Scheme for IT Hardware and Large-Scale Electronics manufacturing
- c) Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS)
- d) Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS)
- e) Electronics Manufacturing Clusters Scheme (EMC)
- f) Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS)

Given the foundational nature of semiconductor industry for the economy, the Government launched  the  'Semicon  India  Programme' with  a  total  outlay  of  Rs.  76,000  crore  for  the development of semiconductor and display manufacturing ecosystem in the country. Following are salient achievements under this Programme:

-     Government has approved 10 projects with envisaged investments of about Rs. 1.6 Lakh Crore which includes 2 fabs and 8 packaging units. These units inter-alia include CMOS (Silicon) fab, Silicon Carbide fab, advanced packaging, memory packaging, etc. These projects are in various stages of implementation and pilot

production  has  started  in  4  units.  The  details  of  the  projects  are  provided  at Annexure .

-   24 chip design projects have been supported through startups. 16 have completed tapeouts and 13 have received VC funding.
-    350  universities  have  been  provided  access  to  EDA  tools,  used  by  65  thousand engineers

The Economic Survey 2025-26 notes that electronics exports reached $22.2 billion in the first half of FY26, which would soon propel the sector to be the 2 nd highest export category by value. The momentum gained in the electronics/semiconductor industry has had a ripple effect on all allied  sectors.  The  growth  of  electronics  manufacturing  can  be  seen  from  the  following statistics:

| #                                     | 2014-15         | 2024-25       | Remarks           |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------|---------------|-------------------|
| Production of electronics goods (Rs.) | ~1.9 Lakh Cr    | ~11.3 Lakh Cr | Increased 6 times |
| Export of electronics goods (Rs.)     | ~38 thousand Cr | ~3.27 Lakh Cr | Increased 8 times |

Semiconductor Industry is a foundational Industry having implications across various sectors of the economy. The Semiconductor mission is expected to cater to the chip requirements of sectors  such  as  consumer appliances,  industrial  electronics,  automobiles,  power  electronics, telecommunications,  aerospace  etc  thereby  reducing  import  dependence.  Semiconductor manufacturing  is  a  highly  specialised  industry  requiring  complex  manufacturing  process. Therefore, most of the jobs created in this industry are skilled jobs. Further, these units are expected to have a cascading effect on employment generation in the other sectors and the supply chain down the line.

Union  Budget  for  2026-27  has  also  announced  ISM  2.0  to  further  expand  semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
