## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 6046

TO BE ANSWERED ON: 01.04.2026

## SEMICONDUCTOR FABRICATION OR DESIGN UNITS IN TELANGANA

## 6046. SHRI RAMASAHAYAM RAGHURAM REDDY:

Will the Minister of ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY be pleased to state:

- (a)  whether  the  Government  has  approved  any  central  scheme  grants  under  the  India Semiconductor Mission for semiconductor fabrication or design units in Telangana and if so, the number of units, committed investment and timeline;
- (b) if not, the reasons therefor and whether there are any units being considered; and
- (c)  the  details  of  the  criteria  the  Centre  uses  to  allocate  States  for  semiconductor  mission benefits and the manner in which Telangana was evaluated?

## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): India's semiconductor development strategy is inspired by Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, Make for the world.

It  builds  on  the  success  of  the  electronics  manufacturing.  In  last  11  years,  electronics manufacturing has increased to nearly 12 Lakh Cr and provides employment to more than 60 lakh people.

## Semicon India program:

In 2022, Government approved Semicon India programme for the development of complete semiconductor ecosystem, ranging from design, fabrication, assembly, testing, packaging, and module manufacturing.

Fiscal incentives are provided for setting up semiconductor units including fabs, packaging units, etc.

## Progress of Semicon India:

In  a  short  span  of  four  years,  the  Government  has  approved  10  units  with  an  investment commitment of about Rs 1.6 Lakh Cr.

Approved projects include one Silicon CMOS based semiconductor fabs for logic chips, one Silicon Carbide based semiconductor fab for high power applications, two advance packaging for glass-based packaging and wafer level packaging and 6 other ATMP/OSAT facilities.

The commercial production in two plants (Micron and Kaynes at Sanand) has commenced with 2 more units to start commercial production this year.

## Developing design ecosystem:

As per industry assessment, the maximum value addition in the semiconductor chips is from the design of chips. Government is developing India's chip design ecosystem in two ways:

## 1. Supporting Indian design engineers through Chip design tools :

In a one of its kind initiatives in the world, Government has provided cutting edge chip design tools from 8 different companies to 315 universities. So far, their usage has exceeded 200 lakh hours.

Using these tools, 211 chips have been taped out by 75 institutions across India including 149 chips at 180nm, SCL Mohali and 62 chip at overseas foundries.

## 2. Supporting Indian design companies through grant, free design tool and fabrication support:

Government has approved 24 projects for the design of semiconductor chips and SoCs.

These  projects  address  critical  sectors  such  as  video  surveillance,  drone  detection,  energy metering, microprocessors, satellite communications, and broadband and IoT SoCs.

Out of 24 projects, 14 companies have raised venture capital funding of more than Rs 650 Cr to scale up and productize their solutions.

Seven (7) chips have been successfully fabricated at various nodes including advanced nodes such as 12 nm.

The list of chip companies and universities supported in Telangana under the program is at Annexure-I.
