## ANSWER

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

(a) to (i): Semiconductor industry is a foundational industry as it is embedded in almost all aspects of  the  economy.  Self-reliance  in  electronics  and  semiconductor  manufacturing  is  of  strategic importance  for  our  country.  The  supply  chain  of  semiconductors  is  concentrated  in  few geographies  leading  to  vulnerabilities.  COVID-19  exposed  such  vulnerabilities  in  the  global semiconductor supply chains.

Driven by the Atma Nirbhar Bharat vision of Hon'ble PM and to diversify the electronics and semiconductor supply chains, the Government  launched Semicon  India Programme  for development  of  a  complete  ecosystem,  ranging  from  design,  fabrication,  assembly,  testing, packaging and module manufacturing.  The details of the programme  are available at www.ism.gov.in.

## Achievements:

- In a short span of four years, the Government has approved 10 manufacturing projects with investment commitments of about Rs. 1.6 lakh crore. These units are expected to generate more than 27,000 direct employment and will have a cascading effect on the employment opportunities across the supply chain and allied sectors, leading to significant indirect job creation. The approved project details are at Annexure I
- 24 design projects worth Rs. 900 crore have been approved, covering critical sectors like video surveillance, drone detection, energy metering, microprocessors, satellite communications, broadband, and IoT SoCs. Of these, 14 companies have secured venture capital funding,
- 103  fabless  chip  design  companies  have  been  supported  with  access  to  advanced  chip design infrastructure, cumulatively consuming 60 lakh hours of tool usage
- 7  chips  have  been  successfully  fabricated  out  of  16  designs  taped  out  across  multiple foundries, including advanced nodes such as 12 nm at TSMC

Driving Innovation through dedicated Schemes: To strengthen the innovation ecosystem, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) is implementing two complementary initiatives with distinct focus areas.

- Anusandhan  National  Research  Foundation  (ANRF):  Focused  on  academic  research, industry  collaboration,  and  translational  research  in  semiconductors,  electronics,  and advanced materials
- Research,  Development  and  Innovation  (RDI)  Scheme:  Designed  to  support  late-stage technology development and commercialization, providing long-term financing and risk capital for industry-led R&D

Together, ANRF  and  RDI  address  the  full  innovation  pipeline  -  from  knowledge  creation  in academia to industrial deployment and commercialization

Specific  Projects  supported  by  MeitY: Additionally,  MeitY  supports  R&D  projects  across academic  institutions,  research  organizations,  and  startups  in  areas  of  semiconductors  such  as nanotechnology, semiconductor materials, processes, chip design, and IP cores. Notable initiatives include:

- Government has approved a project titled 'Next Generation AMOLED Displays, OLED Lighting  and  OPV  products:  Development  of  disruptive  Technologies  to  enable  cost effective  electronic  component  manufacturing  in  India'  with  a  budget  outlay  of  ~₹42 Crore, being implemented at IIT Madras. The physical deliverables of the project are to develop prototypes for AMOLED Display; OLED Lighting; and OPV Power Source for Mobile Phones
- Government  has  also  funded  a  project  to  Foundation  for  Science  Innovation  and Development  (FSID),  IISc  Bengaluru  for  'Establishment  of  Gallium  Nitride  (GaN) Ecosystem Enabling Centre and Incubator (GEECI) for High Power and High-Frequency Electronics' at IISc Bengaluru with budget outlay of ~Rs. 334 Crore. The project envisions to nucleate an end-to-end ecosystem for enabling GaN based electronics manufacturing in the country for power and RF electronics
- Indian Nanoelectronics Users' Programme (INUP) program for accelerating research and development in micro and nanoelectronics in India has been launched to leverage the Nano centres established by MeitY at Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru (IISc) and Indian Institutes  of  Technology  (IITs).  The  program  supports  the  exploratory  and  innovative research  for  development  of  technologies  covering  MEMS,  Compound  Semiconductor materials & devices, sensors and photovoltaics. The program will also support start-ups, incubation, prototyping through collaboration and mentoring Programme

India Semiconductor Mission 2.0: Building on the success of Semicon India Programme and further enhance the capabilities in semiconductors, Hon'ble FM, in the Union Budget 2026-27, announced India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 for manufacture of equipment and materials, design full stack, Indian IP and fortify supply chains.
